Fire Rated Applications
Perform the installation according to the instructions outlined in this manual. Additionally, ensure the
following conditions have been met:
When attaching the door arm to the door, use steel binding posts (Sex Bolts) to attach. Do NOT use
sheet metal screws into the face of the door. The door arm bracket must be through-bolted.
When attaching the header to the hollow metal door frame, ensure there are 5 attaching screws
spaced equally apart. They should be #12 sheet metal type screws.
Fire rated power operated doors must close and latch during a fire alarm condition. Ensure proper
procedures have been followed to allow a main power disconnect during a fire alarm condition. Always
check to ensure compliance to local building codes.
Upon job completion, always perform a functional test to ensure that the door(s) close and latch
following a power loss.
Other hardware may be required to complete the installation. For example, for pairs of doors, if an
Astragal is installed, a mechanical door coordinator may be required to ensure a proper coordinated
closing during a power loss.
Only fire rated hardware shall be used on a fire rated door & frame assembly.
