+++Fire Rated Doors - Common Violations+++

2011-05-04T10:35:00.006-04:00

As you look around your facility at your fire rated doors you may not be aware of some of the more common violations that void your fire ratings:

1. Painted or missing fire labels

6. Missing or incorrect fasteners

7. Bottom flush bolts that do not project 1/2" into the strike

8. Auxiliary hardware items that interfere with the intended function of the door (barrel bolts, deadbolts, etc)

9. Area surrounding the fire door assembly blocked by furniture, equipment, boxes, etc.

If even one of these issues is present your door assembly is in violation and is no longer considered a fire rated assembly.

House of Doors is your source for Special-Lite

2010-06-30T14:48:00.011-04:00

House of Doors is proud to be your preferred source for Special-Lite brand entrance systems.

Special-Lite manufacturers a complete HEAVY DUTY exterior entrance system for both new construction and replacement use in the construction market. By specifying a Special-Lite entrance you will enjoy convenience, reliability, and performance advantages beyond your expectations.

Since 1971 Special-Lite has been solving entrance problems with high-performance products engineered and manufactured to provide the longest possible service life with minimal maintenance. Special-Lite doors are designed to hold up under extreme use and abuse, while also reducing wear and tear on hardware and framing, to prolong the service life of the entire entrance system. As a result Special-Lite entrances deliver the lowest total life cycle cost.

Please feel free to contact us today for pricing and lead times. As always we at House of Doors strive to bring you the highest quality product while keeping you within your budget.

Special-Lite product offerings include:

Monumental: Durability plus design flexibility in a full-vision door. Special-Lite Monumental Doors are proof that you don't have to sacrifice design flexibility when selecting a heavy-duty stile and rail door. Monumental doors allow you to create the open and inviting full-vision entrance you want to welcome the public, while providing the functionality, security and long service life you require. They're ideally suited for educational, institutional, commercial, or religious facility entrances subjected to high traffic. Maintenance-free surfaces keep doors looking new. The attractive and durable surface never needs painting, cannot rust, and will keep its new-like appearance indefinitely with only routine cleaning with mild soap and water.

FRP: The first and still the best. Special-Lite pioneered Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP) Flush Doors in 1981 to meet the extreme demands of the school market. FRP doors offer trouble-free performance and long-lasting beauty in the most challenging interior and exterior entrance applications. Remarkably durable, they can withstand heavy traffic, abuse, or adverse environmental conditions—and continue to look like new for many years. Unlike metal or wood doors, they will never rust, corrode, crack, split, peel, or rot. With FRP face sheets the color goes through so scratches won't be obvious. When you consider total lifecycle cost, Special-Lite FRP Flush Doors are the first choice for lasting value.
High Performance Special-Lite FRP are built tough enough to withstand decades of abuse from the roughest door users imaginable—kids. They've become the door of choice for schools because they can handle the most extreme use, abuse, and vandalism, while requiring only occasional cleaning. They're also ideal where corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning are required, or where bumps or scrapes can be expected such as service entrances or loading docks.

AMP: Traditional looks with thoroughly modern performance. Special-Lite AMP Flush Doors provide the attractive appearance of wood, without the disadvantages of real wood. AMP Doors can't warp, split, peel or rot, and don't require periodic refinishing. The AMP (Acrylic-Modified Polyester) surface offers a degree of resistance to stains, scuffs and impacts that would easily damage wood. It's also unaffected by the elements and humid environments, and offers good cleanability. Special-Lite AMP Flush Doors are available as a classic 6-panel style door designed to meet the aesthetic considerations of Georgian and Colonial style architecture, as well as wood grain. Fire rated AMP doors are a perfect complement AMP entrance doors for interior applications that require a fire-rated door.
