Article - Economic Value of Intelligent Openings Will Continue to Grow
In this article from Bob Steinman, President, IR Security & Safety Americas, he talks about the growing sophistication and broader spectrum of choices available in electronic access control is leading to greater integration with total building controls and systems, with a consequent increase in the economic value of an opening that goes beyond security concerns.
As electronics play an ever-increasing role in managing a building’s openings, the added initial investment will be more than justified by the increased economic value that the opening generates. Access security and egress safety features are being combined into systems that also generate data for asset tracking or personnel scheduling. These and many other applications are reshaping the role of the opening and providing solutions that can be “dollarized.” The resulting economic benefits are making electrified solutions more easily affordable by generating a much larger payback.

Marshfield DoorSystems Receives Less Bottom Rod Approvals for 45-90 Minute Doors.
"auxiliary pin that fires into the side of the door ..." "no need for a metal edge and astragal"
Doorway Solutions and Marshfield DoorSystems, Inc. are proud to announce approval from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Intertek Testing Services - Warnock Hersey (ITS-WH) to label 45 to 90-minute fire-rated mineral core doors with surface vertical rod less bottom rod.
This new approval boasts machining for an auxiliary pin that fires into the side of the door rather than the floor, as well as no need for a metal edge and astragal. The approval is also ADA friendly.
Benefits of the new less bottom rod approvals:
- Eliminates cumbersome requirements to prepare the floor for dust-proof floor strikes and the associated maintenance of cleaning the floor-strikes to ensure effective fire-rated operation of the opening.
- Improves aesthetics by removing the need for the bottom channel containing a door-to-floor fire pin.
For more details about approved less bottom rod surface vertical rod fire exit hardware, see Marshfield's web site or contact the experts at Doorway Solutions to learn more.
