Fire Doors are designed to close automatically from a fully open position – activation of the door in the down position may cause damage. Fire Doors are not designed for use in high cycle applications – a secondary non rated door is recommended in those situations.
Acceptance of the listing for variations in wall construction should be verified with the building authority having jurisdiction.
Fire Doors come with a 2 year/ 20,000 cycle warranty. See Warranty Page for details
