Yale has pledged its support to Fire Door Safety Week for the fifth year running,.

The annual campaign, which runs all this week, raises awareness of the critical role that fire doors play in saving lives and protecting property and draws attention to specific issues such as poor installation and maintenance, aiming to engage and educate specifiers, building owners and the public on fire door safety.

Fire doors are one of the most fundamental elements of a building’s passive fire protection. They act as the first line of defence in a fire and provide those vital minutes for occupants to evacuate the building safely. In addition, they must provide the required level of security for the building in which they are installed.

Brett Evans, technical director for door hardware at Yale DWS, said: “We are extremely proud of our suite of hardware for fire doors. Each product in the range can make a huge difference to the effectiveness of a fire doorset, and provides the outstanding security features you would expect from Yale.

“Fire door safety is a huge priority for us. We are constantly investing in our team to ensure that we can offer the correct guidance on fire safety – for example, by arranging for our employees to complete fire door diploma courses. That’s why we support Fire Door Safety Week every year, as highlighting the issues surrounding fire door safety is so important for our industry and society.”
