Opening the door to complete fire compliance with ERA

 Central to the fire door solution is ERA’s Surefire Classic and Heritage multi-point locks, which can be supplied with an intumescent kit, specifically for fabrication with fire doors. PAS 24 accredited, the multi-point lock provides a highly secure solution that automatically fires all locking points when the door is closed. The door is then fully secured by deadlocking the ERA 3* maximum security cylinder.

Stuart Costigan, Product Manager for ERA, said: “As one of the UK’s leading home security and fenestration component providers, we have a responsibility to support our fabricator partners in achieving complete compliance with the latest standards.

“We also have a duty to aid them in taking a proactive approach to fire safety and compliance that sets the standard for a new generation of accountability. This is a commitment we take extremely seriously. We have invested significantly in the independent fire testing of our most popular hardware and furniture to ensure we provide manufacturers with a complete certified offering that is suitable for use with a wide range of fire doors.

“Door manufacturers shouldn’t have to compromise on visual appeal or functionality to ensure compliance, and by extending our range of independently tested solutions, we can assist fabricators in ensuring the highest levels of fire safety performance, not just for today, but for the future.”

Supplied with comprehensive test evidence and documentation, door manufacturers can be confident that when they contact their test body to assess their door substrate, the ERA certified hardware will provide the highest standards of fire performance for the required 30 or 60 minutes.
