FIRE-RATED FLOOR DOORS
Model: BFDF

MAINTENANCE
o
Floor doors should be manually operated at minimum twice per year to check
performance.
o
Lubricate moving parts such as hinges, and latches with a food grade grease or
silicone spray lube as required to maintain a smooth opening and closing of the door.
Do not over grease. Do not use regular lubricating oil as it can attract dust and grit.
o
Non-moving parts should be cleaned with a mild soap or dishwashing detergent and
water solution.
o
Gaskets should be cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not apply mineral oils, vinyl
dressings, or other lubricants to the gasket as they many cause the gasket to break
down over time.
o
If floor doors are installed in corrosive environments such as environments exposed to
saltwater or hydrogen chloride, the stainless-steel hardware must be coated with a
custom finish and the springs should be lubricated on a strict three to six-month
schedule.
o
Do not allow unit to get wet. It may affect fire performance.
