Fire Doors:

Fire Door Facts

Fire doors are responsible for limiting losses in the event of fire. Found most often in large facilities, fire doors are located at openings in firewalls. The firewalls are designed to separate the area into smaller zones that can prevent the spread of fire to the entire facility. Typically, fire doors remain open until called upon to close in the event of fire. The addition of fire doors and firewalls can lower insurance costs significantly.

Most insurance companies require yearly testing of the fire doors in buildings they insure. Unless installers are fully trained, and follow procedures set by the National Fire Protection Association, the fire doors may not function properly. Our installers are trained in the proper methods of installation, and understand the principles of fire door operation. Proper fire door “drop testing” is a procedure that makes sure your doors will function as planned. Regular scheduled appointments are available to ensure that your fire doors will close when it counts! When your jobs and warehouse contents are on the line don’t take chances, demand professionals, ask for J.W.Murdoch and Sons Inc.

Security Doors:

Looking for security but don’t want your facility to look like it’s located in the middle of a Beirut war zone? Why not consider an attractive Rolling or side folding grille?

Security grilles located at building openings or storefronts can prevent unauthorized access and discourage forcible entry. They can also secure areas within buildings such as restaurants and pharmacies. Grilles are available in an open brick or straight pattern design to permit free circulation of air. Glazed designs utilizing polycarbonate or Lexan materials are available to prevent pilfering and create a barrier to refuse, smoke, or odors. Grilles can be manual push-up, hand crank, or motor operated. Design flexibility is almost unlimited.

Whether you’re open or closed, grilles allow you to showcase your merchandise or facility with full visual access. Grilles promote “Around the clock” viewing with security. Your customers can browse your business while you rest comfortably at home knowing your business is safe. Who knows, you might even be greeted the next day by a customer who saw something he liked while browsing after hours. Find out why Mall developers call them the silent salesmen!
