Fire doors in NYC work by fitting instrument
strips around the edges of the door that lie
dormant during everyday use, but when in contact
with extreme heat, they expand at a rapid rate,
sealing the gap between the door and door frame
in order to create a barrier against fire. You
can also install instrument strips with smoke
seals to stop the smoke getting through the door
as well as the fire. However, for a fire door to
protect escape routes, prevent the spread of fire
and restrict the amount of oxygen feeding the
fire, it must be installed correctly and kept
closed at all times.

What Should You Look for When You Buy Fire Doors
in NYC?
When buying fire doors in NYC always ensure that
you use a reputable and expert supplier and
should check that all fire doors in NYC are
fire-rated. Fire doors NYC offer either 30mins or
60mins of resistance against smoke and flames and
come with a FD30 or FD 60 rating, respectively.
This can be checked on the label found on the top
of the door, which should also state the
manufacturers name and its unique traceability
code. In addition, all essential ironmongery
such as hinges, locks, closers, and latches must
be CE marked and fire protected otherwise the
fire doors NYC will not be fit for purpose if a
fire breaks out. NYC building regulations are
very clear and any small differences in detail,
such as glazing, intumescing strips, apertures,
door frames and ironmongery may significantly
affect the rating.

edges.
