A large school fire can devastate and disrupt a child‘s education. Although precautions can be taken to prevent a school fire, no building is immune from the risks.

Ensuring a building has fully compliant fire doors is vital to help protect buildings and lives.

Fire doors

Fire doors stop the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic fumes and must be closed to work effectively. Propping them open with a wedge is illegal and could result in huge fines and risk lives.

There are many legitimate reasons for holding a fire door open in an educational building.

Installing wire-free electromagnetic fire door devices can give the benefit of open fire doors while giving the peace of mind that they will close in the event of a fire, protecting the building and occupants and staying within fire regulations.

All education buildings including schools, universities, and colleges must comply fully with fire door safety.
