Allegion UK has announced the launch of its new Fire Door Hardware Logbook, a practical guide designed to assist responsible persons with hardware installation and maintenance.
Allegion has unveiled its latest customer resource in line with this year’s Fire Door Safety Week, with an aim of drawing attention to two of the most prominent problem areas of fire door safety in improper installation and inadequate maintenance. Allegion’s new logbook addresses the common issues in these areas and offers accessible guidance on essential compliance requirements whilst simplifying documentation and record-keeping for those tasked with upholding the integrity of fire door systems.
With an inuitive format covering detailed installation guidance and quarterly maintenance checklists, the logbook acts as a hands on resource for responsible persons and provides comprehensive walkthroughs for each of the critical elements of fire door hardware, including overhead door closers, panic and emergency exit hardware, electromagnetic hold open devices, seals, locks, latches and door furniture. The launch reflects Allegion’s ongoing commitment to raising standards within the fire door industry.
Pete Hancox, country manager at Allegion UK, comments on the launch: “As the industry continues to address fire door compliance and building safety, the significance of accurate fire door hardware installation and competent maintenance procedures can’t be overstated. Our new Fire Door Hardware Logbook is both a valuable tool and a reminder for building owners, facility managers and responsible persons that fire door safety continues to require attention following the specification process.
“We’re proud to add another invaluable resource to our library of support tools as we take a proactive step towards improving awareness and education on installation and maintenance. The launch coincides with fire door safety week and presents us with an opportunity to amplify crucial messages, as we look to support best fire door safety practice and positively contribute to safer buildings across the UK.”
The new Allegion ‘Fire Door Hardware Installation and Maintenance Logbook’ is now available in digital format.
