Door closers and security

A tightly closed door is the first step to everyone's safety

The security of a building first of all depends on the way in which its doors are managed, both the access and the internal communication ones.

It is essential that all entrances close in the right way to become the first barrier to protect not only the access of unauthorized persons, but also in the event of a fire. 

Automatic closing equals safety and peace of mind

Closing a door when leaving a room is automatic for most people, but there are situations where this isn't always true.

Every day each of us has a thousand things to think about, a busy life and it may happen that closing a fire door is not the first thought we have in mind in the morning when we leave the house. The same also happens in the case of an evacuation, when the excitement of the moment could be the cause of an oversight.

Having a door closer installed on your fire doors allows everyone to feel safer at any time, knowing that this important barrier will always do its job.

Make sure you install the right components

For a fire door to be effective, it is also necessary that all the mechanisms that compose it are carefully selected, declined for the specific use and installed correctly.

In this way you will not only have an effective partitioning of the different areas of the building, but you can be really sure that all the components of the door are not used incorrectly or that some parts can be removed.

Tips for a safer building

Tips for a safer building

  • Install a door closer on all the fire doors in your building and also on the entrance doors of each apartment, to ensure the separation of each housing unit from the common areas.
  • In the case of long corridors, provide for a division of the space by installing fire doors along the path.
  • Make sure the residents of the building are trained in passive fire protection.
