FULLY CERTIFIED LONDON FIRE BRIGADE LOCKS AVAILABLE FROM ZOO

,

   

Leading door hardware specialist Zoo Hardware has introduced a new range of London Fire Brigade locks, for use on doors and cupboards where emergency access is required by use of the common London Fire Brigade key.

Now regularly used beyond a firefighting context, London Fire Brigade locks have become a more universal solution, serving as a convenient deadlock for homes and offices. The Zoo London Fire Brigade locks ensure seamless security for shared keys used in a diverse range of environments, from service riser doors, meter cupboards and communal entrances in residential complexes to car park barriers, bin stores and entrances to public buildings.

UKCA, CE and CERTIFIRE approved, the Zoo Fire Brigade locks have been successfully tested in accordance with the requirements of BS EN1634-1. They are suitable for use on 30 and 60 minute fire-rated timber doors, using Flexifire graphite-based intumescents.

The deadbolts are manufactured from solid brass for added strength and security, and lock keys can be operated from both sides to lock and unlock the deadbolt. The locks are available in both square and radius forends, with a backset of 51.5mm. Supplied in a polished stainless steel finish, additional finishes are coming soon, including polished brass, satin brass, black and bronze.

Commenting on the range, Jason Tonks Reg AI, Technical Product, Certification and Compliance Manager at Zoo Hardware, said:

“The ambitious Zoo team has once again applied its technical expertise to the development of this new range, bringing a fully certified option to the market, with healthy stock levels to meet the growing demand for London Fire Brigade Locks.”

New Fire Resistant Door Hardware Protection brochure from Lorient

Lorient, a respected designer and manufacturer of sealing systems for door assemblies has launched a comprehensively revised brochure featuring its Fire Resistant Door Hardware Protection products.

Ironmongery is a vital part of a fire door. However, every time a fire door is cut to fit ironmongery, a weakness is created. This could mean three or four weak points in a door, where fire can take hold. Adding intumescent door hardware kits protects those weak points. Lorient kits are made from intumescent sheet, which is wrapped around each piece of ironmongery such as hinges, locks and latches, door viewers and concealed closers, acting as an insulator. Tested with a range of ironmongery, Lorient kits are supplied pre-cut to the exact dimensions, for quick and easy installation.

With a fresh contemporary look, the brochure comprises Lorient’s largest selection of door hardware and hardware protection to date; which includes fire, smoke & security letterplates, door edge protectors, door viewers and intumescent protection kits. New additions include flush bolt, drop seal and bespoke protection kits; plus enhanced test evidence for a number of products.
