Why do fire doors even need door closers on them? Did you know how vitally important fire doors can be in residential and commercial buildings?
door closers importance
The most important duty of door closers is to control the closing speed of the door so that it doesn’t get shut hard. This prevents the potential damages the door edges might suffer as a consequence of this sudden shut. Since a door’s edge or also called border is a part of its aesthetic beauty and class, and by the way, an injured door can not do its duty against the unwanted objects well and properly, a door closer can always be a key solution for home owners. A door closer also makes sure your door closes completely and no unwanted element such as birds, dogs, and cats or also dust and unwanted particles can find their way in. But the most significant reason for buying door closers would show itself during an event of fire. When the building is on fire and the residents are trying to run away from the flames, there must be a door closer that gets the door shut and prevents the flames from spreading to other points of the building. This is vital for both the building and the lives of the residents. This also gives the firemen the chance to deliver themselves to the burning building, extinguish the fire, and repel the further damages. Hence, a decent door closer can be verry economically-fruitful for a building. 
Fire doors types
According to their features, material, and fire rating, fire doors are divided into several categories. They can be hinged or sliding just like any other door types. It is actually the property owner who decides what type to buy and install based on his/her taste and the requirements and the situation of the building. In terms of fire rating, there is a wide range of doors that can resist the flames from 30 up to 120 minutes in accordance with your choice and depending on the grade of fire resistance you need. And finally, in terms of material, steel glazed, and wooden fire doors are the most popular and preferred ones you can find in the global market. Steel fire doors are the best and the most reliable ones you can see everywhere in buildings. You can order each and every one of these variants at the most reasonable prices if you contact us.

A fire door is a very good means of insulation everywhere. 
Door closer types
In terms of model and physical shape, door closers are divided into various classifications such as traditional, modern, concealed in door, concealed in frame, and concealed in floor types. The concealed ones are likely to be produced for those who give more importance to sufficient use of space in their residents. Door closers can also be categorized based on their functionalities. There are now pneumatic and hydraulic door closers offered in the global market as the most popular ones. The pneumatic door closers work with springs placed inside their arms which bend when the door opens and stretch back and retract the door closed when released. But hydraulic door closers which are manufactured to close doors more smoothly, have hydraulic liquid in their arms, moving the door closed again after being pressed open and released. Both models are pretty useful and extremely popular in the global market. Door closers of both types can easily be adjusted to hold the door open, prevent the door from swinging past a certain point, or close the door with a pre-determined speed. In terms of power, again door closers can be classified differently. Heavy-duty, medium-duty, and light-duty door closers look almost alike but they are produced for different doors with different weights. We also produce electromagnetic door closer types which are in harmony with the fire safety system of your building and can automatically get the doors shut during an event of fire. 
Fire doors importance
Fire doors are installed and used in residential buildings, apartments, houses, hotels, and commercial buildings. They have to be checked and preserved regularly so they function best. Several things are important when buying, installing, and using fire doors. Maintenance is among the most important ones since a fire door must always be ready to fight the potential and probable flames. First of all, you have to check and make sure if your door is truly a fire door and in harmony with fire-safety regulations. Secondarily, check the gaps and seals simply using a commercial card to see if the gaps are well-sealed to prevent particles, flames, and heat from getting through. Hinges are also among the most crucial parts of these doors that have to be checked and examined once in a while since they can help the fire fight its way out more easily if injured. The door closers are the next things to be examined because if they work inappropriately, the door and consequently the whole building would remain vulnerable against fire and other unwanted elements. Fire doors have to be labeled so everyone including firefighters and experts can recognize what type of fire door is used in your building and how long can it resist the flames. You have to make sure that label is always there, installed on the door. Check and examine to see if there is a part of the frame of the door missing since a flaw like this can help the fire through. Again, check between the door and the frame to see if anything has been added which prevents the door from working properly.
