Fire Resistant Doors are nifty innovations and a brand new addition to the arsenal of roller shutter doors, gate motors, and accessories that we proudly manufacture, supply and install at Millenium Roller Doors. 

In this article, we give you, the reader, an insight into Fire Doors to explain what they are, how they work, and why your enterprise can’t afford to be without this important physical asset.

Fire Doors and Shutters – Guarding Your Assets 

Fire Doors protect you from one of the most likely disasters to occur at any enterprise, and the practical reasons for why the hazard of fire is so real to everyone involved – are undeniable.   

Brands such as Makro come to mind, a large enterprise and factory outlet that has experienced severe losses due to various outbreaks of rampant flames seen over decades of its operations. And the reasons are tenfold why this could happen to anyone:

With so many electrical currents, human error, and flammable materials around us, combined with the possibility of looting or ransacking (like we saw in 2021), inventory stock is a valuable commodity that can go up in flames if not guarded astutely from ANY source of extreme heat. Not to mention the human lives at stake that goes without saying.

How Do Fire Resistant Doors Work?

Fire-resistant shutter doors remain in the open position and engage in closing automatically in the event of being triggered. Combined with an advanced smoke and heat detector, the motorized fire resistant doors are powered by a custom battery backup Fire Motor. 

All of these components are connected to a control panel by using a fire-rated and thus protected electrical cable as well.

If any source of extreme heat or smoke is detected, the controller will sound an alarm and emit a flashing light to warn people in the nearby vicinity that the fire door is closing.

Sense the Danger and Extinguish the Fire with MRD

Our new Fire Rated Industrial Doors are manufactured from solid and slatted galvanized steel “curtain” shutters. The MRD 600kg battery backup motor utilizes a photoelectric sensing chamber to make a measurement that corresponds to smoke density at all times.
