COMMON CHALLENGES OF FIRE DOOR LOCK

In public buildings, safety is paramount. EU Regulation 305/2011 (CPR) mandates CE certification and DoP declarations for fire door locks to ensure mechanical safety and fire integrity. Yet some pain points persist:
1

Compliance Risks

Using door locks without complete CE certification or missing DoP declarations may lead to project acceptance disputes and market access barriers.
2

Fire Resistance Deficiencies

Some locks on fire doors do not match their claimed fire resistance duration, affecting the integrity of the fire barrier.
1

Functional Challenges

Corrosion wear or insufficient durability in high-traffic areas (e.g., hospitals/airports) affect usage and increase maintenance costs.
4

Compatibility Issues

Failure in the coordination between fire rated door locks and other door hardware or access control systems can impact the response effectiveness during daily operations or emergencies.

Additionally, fire door locks often come with heat-expanding seals that block gaps around the door to further prevent smoke and fire ingress. Made from high-melting-point materials like stainless steel, the lock's mechanical structure stays intact at high temperatures, ensuring the door can be quickly opened when needed for safe and rapid evacuation.

5. Fire door lock installation & maintenance

Select the right lock, ensuring it meets the fire door's grade requirements and has relevant certifications. Install it correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the door closes properly. For maintenance, regularly check the lock's appearance and test its functions to ensure the latch and deadbolt operate smoothly and the door closes tightly.
