New Requirements for Annual Fire Door Inspections
Colorado Doorways, Inc. 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.'

New, Improved LCN Benchmark Automatic Operator
Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies announced the release of a new and improved LCN Benchmark Automatic Operator that comes equipped with many new standard features and adjustments, such as intelligent Power Boost and Push-N-Go.
The Power Boost feature on the new Benchmark operator provides it with the extra strength needed in the last 10 degrees of closing to securely close and latch the door. As a result, wind, HVAC and other forces will not prevent the door from latching and users can be assured that the door is truly secure.
Another great new feature is Push-N-Go, in which the door automatically opens when it is manually pushed beyond 3 degrees. This is an important attribute, especially for assisted living centers, hospitals and facilities used by younger children who may need help when opening a door. If this feature is not needed in the application, users can turn Push-N-Go off.
The new Benchmark's control box includes clearly labeled adjustment pods, which make set up and fine-tuning easier than ever. Oftentimes, different applications require different speeds and features. With the new Benchmark, they can be adjusted in seconds. The clear labeling means a lost instruction manual is no longer the problem it used to be.
Tested to 3 million cycles, the Benchmark from LCN is fully compliant with UL 325 and meets the provisions of ANSI 156.19. It is also UL listed for fire-rated door applications and meets the requirements of ADA. The new LCN Benchmark is now available. More information can be found on the LCN website at www.lcn.ingersollrand.com.
For more details about about the new LCN Benchmark Automatic Operator, contact the experts at Doorway Solutions to learn more.
