Enhancing Door Performance with Drop Seals
The Anatomy of a Fire Door - Drop Seals edition.
In today's building design, achieving optimal functionality and safety is paramount. One key component that often goes unnoticed but plays a crucial role in improving a door's performance is the drop seal.
What is a Drop Seal?
A drop seal is an automatic door sealing mechanism that is installed at the bottom edge of a door. When the door is closed, the seal automatically drops to close the gap between the door and the floor. This simple yet effective solution is essential for several reasons:
1. Acoustic protection: Drop seals significantly reduce the transmission of sound between rooms, making them ideal for environments where privacy and no...

How to Protect Door Hardware on Fire Doors
Просмотров 997 месяцев назад
We all know fire doors need hardware such as hinges, locks, and latches to function. But installing these products means elements of the fire-resistant door core are removed and replaced with items of higher thermal conductivity. This creates numerous weak points in the door, where fire can take hold and affect the integrity of the doorset. That’s why fire-rated ironmongery must be used on timb...

You forgot to mention the hinges , they need to be compliant too
of course - this is a basic 5 step check that anyone can do. We of course reccomend seeking professional inspections regulary.
Does anyone know where it states within acts and/or regulations that the door must be latched when closing.
nfpa80
Does the 3mm apply at the base of the door
no that is 3/4" max
The base of the door is 8mm maximum and should have a drop down seal fitted
Does a fire door door handle assembly have to latch into the door frame when fully closed.
In order to avoid any potential early failure in event of a fire, yes. If the door hasn't latched, then there is a possibility it's not in line with the frame and may reduce the performance of the intumescent seals. Even though many manufacturers test doors unlatched, relying on this would need knowledge of the specific doorsets test evidence.
@@Lorientuk the doors are subject to some serious heat then blasted with a fire hose for testing, unlatched it would be flailing and failing. Does have to be self closing and positively latching.
Please can I have 2 fire door jam tester
Hi Simon, thanks for getting in touch - please could you email your address to mktg@loreintuk.com and we can pop some in the post. Thanks
Thanks uploader the big drop is on the right as it came through the seal on the chair The other fantanstic story is the seat at the park cage, I'm sure he used to fancy here 🌹 Regards gullible Robin 😂
I working in the pub our fire door is used very often staff and customers, Can we leave it open when we pub is open? We can keep shut when we’re close?
There's a couple of different options you could look at to manage this, but the Landlord really should have a fire risk assessment in place to determine the best solution for the door and wider property.
Also check the wall the door is in. No point of a 30 minute door in a 10 minute wall.
2.59am date 16/06/2023. My fire door does not fit snug from the top to the bottom down the side full length I can see the light on in the corridor, and it only just locks , some one came out from Jonnie Johnson, said their is a magic strip down the Frame, which will kick in failing that I need to hope I can get out in time, I've got that furry strip down the door, but watching your video it's not going to work because the door does not sit in the frame.
Hi Janet, gaps between the fire door and the door frame should never be more than 4mm or less than 2mm. It's recommended to aim for a 3mm gap to ensure adequate room for the intumescent strips to activate in the event of a fire, and for the smoke seal strips (e.g. the furry strip you have) to not get damaged by the opening and closing of the door. The maximum gap at the threshold of a fire door is 8-10mm depending on the door specification and products installed. If you are worried and if you are renting we urge you to report this to your landlord or letting agent. If this is a door in a workplace, report this to your manager, the health & safety officer or the designated Responsible Person at your organisation. If this is in an owned home or building, you can ring our customer services advisors who can help advise on products needed to get your door fit for purpose - however, a replacement may be needed if the gaps are too large. I hope this helps.
Did you forget to mention ball-bearing hinges?
ball bearing hinges are for higher traffic not fire ratings. The hinges have the be steel and have a ul stamped on, screws have to be steel as well.
Best to look up NFPA....@@jamesdonohue5843
Why is she shaking that door closer like that, that isnt inspecting it. You wouldnt open the door and start shaking by the handle would you?
YOu are checking wear on the cam and brackets, you also check for damper oil leaks.
@@enochpowelghost cam and brackets?
What the point while most of the floors are made from wood? Maybe it gives you couple seconds extra to escape with stopping smoke. But before this what is shown on the video probably everybody will be evacuated after fire alarm. Moreover fire blaze coming from one side (right) so temperature is not the same on both doors! In my opinion this is extremely poor test!
This is a indicative comparitive test - a comparative test is where we evaluate the performance differences between two doors: one without intumescent seals and one with intumescent seals installed. Both doors are subjected to a 30-minute fire test to assess and compare their fire resistance capabilities. Therefore the temperature is the same on both sides. The unsealed door quickly deteriorates, failing to maintain fire integrity. The sealed door maintains its fire integrity performance, exceeding the required 30 minutes. This video clearly demonstrates the essential role of fitting a correctly specified fire and smoke sealing system in a fire door assembly. Properly sealed fire doors protect property and save lives, while an unsealed door is unlikely to achieve either.
Thats the most dumbest qustion to ask
Roughly how long does it take to inspection a fire door with correct paper work?
Could be weeks ....depends on how competent the clients are!
Are these just for smoke protection therefore the gap below the door cannot be more than 8mm to start with before fitting these?
Hi Saint83 This video shows a complete sealing system - acoustic, smoke & fire seals for the head, jambs, frame & threshold of the door. If referring to fitting a drop seal at the threshold, such as the LAS8001 si, then on a fire door the gap at the threshold should be as per the door manufacturers test evidence, typically 8-10mm. I hope this helps. For any technical queries you can always email technical@lorientuk.com and our dedicated team will be happy to advise.

We are replacing a sliding door that has failed and are considering a Pivot Door. We are on the Florida Gulf coast where impact resistant hurricane doors are required. We are concerned about water infiltration in the pivot door product. Question 1): Have you tested your system for use in a hurricane zone (HVHZ) application? Question 2) : Can your automatic drop seal product be applied to an ANDERSEN Pivot Door Model APD-T with High Performance sill option. (Right side in-swing only) Question 3): Are the internal components of the automatic drop seal product made of stainless steel to prevent rusting in coastal environments?
Hi there. Unfortunately, our drop seals are not designed to work on doors with pivots and have not been tested for use in a hurricane zone. It might be worth looking at a complete tested system. However, If you have a drawing of the particular design our Technical team would be happy to take a look and advise on the most suitable sealing system to meet your needs. technical@lorientuk.com I hope this helps!
Are the internal components (screw, spring, actuator, rails, etc) of the automatic drop seal product made of stainless steel to prevent rusting in coastal environments? Do you have HVHZ zone certification?

WHAT IS THIS THING
Well according to the uploader we still at parliament 😂
They are products used in door assemblies & fire doors - The LAS8001 is a drop seal that is installed at the bottom of the door to form a smoke and draught seal. The Finesse seal is installed in either the perimeters of the door frame, or the head and jamb of the door itself and work to contain fire and smoke. They work together with other fire integrity products on a door to create a system that will contain a fire for a designated period of time. They're designed to be discreet, but they are in most buildings! Hope this helps.
