New Requirements for Annual Fire Door Inspections
Colorado Doorways Becomes First Distributor in Colorado with Certified Fire Door Inspectors

Properly operating fire doors help protect property and save lives in the event of any emergency. Defective, damaged or non-functional fire doors can lead to tragic results and may subject building owners and managers to catastrophic losses and increased legal liability. Recognizing the importance of fire doors in preserving life and property, the National Fire Protection Association recently began requiring annual inspections of all fire door assemblies, including swinging doors and builders’ hardware (NFPA 80, 2007).

This change is highly significant to all building owners. Now, just like elevators, sprinkler systems and fire alarms, fire door openings must be inspected by a certified third-party to maintain NFPA compliance. NFPA 80's language in paragraph 5-2.1 requires fire door assemblies to be inspected 'not less than annually, and a written record of the inspection shall be signed and kept for inspection by the AHJ.'

Antimicrobial Coatings Now Available on Schlage, Von Duprin, Ives and Glynn Johnson

Antimicrobial Coatings Now Available on Schlage, Von Duprin, Ives and Glynn JohnsonSchlage, Von Duprin, Glynn-Johnson and Ives introduce a NEW coating with antimicrobial properties for door hardware. The specially formulated coating with silver ions inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew for added protection in sensitive environments. The product offers several important benefits for our customers.

The vast majority of bacteria are rendered harmless by the human immune system, but a few are responsible for infectious disease. The antimicrobial coating on Ingersoll Rand door hardware exit
devices works to protect the hardware’s surface by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew.

The coating is made using ionic silver (AG+), a single atom that is missing one orbital electron that interacts with the bonding sites on the microbe surface. The result is that silver ions surround bacterial cells – blockading food and respiration supplies and slowing the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew.

Colorado Doorways can put together a complete antimicrobial solution for nearly any door in your building. With a choice of styles, finishes and functions it’s easy to find the right products for your building’s use and design.To learn more contact the experts at Colorado Doorways.
