Fire-rated doors are our protectors in the event of an emergency. The door's capability to slow down the spread of smoke gives us more time to hurry to safety. Every building should have them. Does your office building have one? Here's how you can tell: - Check for a certification label. - Look for a gap between a fire door and its frame. - Check for an intumescent strip seal — this swells in the heat and seals the gap between the fire door and frame. - Check for the self-closing mechanism. - Look at the hinges — there should be at least three. Now that you know what to check for, you can look around your surroundings to be sure that you are safe.
