Fire Exit Door Security Seal

Q.Do the Fire Exit Door Security Seals conform to BS8300 Disabled Access?

A.Although the average break strength is only 10.5kg and thus allow the door to be opened with only a little force the security seal does not conform to BS8300.

Q.Is it possible to hook a small padlock through the end of a Fire Exit Door Security Seal so it can be removed if the fire door is used legitimately (not in an emergency)?

A.Yes, there are several ways this can be done. For double doors the padlock can be attached to one of the door panic bars and the security seal to the other. The padlock is them looped through the closed security seal. For a single door a means of fixing the padlock to the frame is required. The security seal is then attached to the panic bar and the padlock is hooked through this.

Q.How are the Fire Exit Door Security Seals attached to the door?

A.The security seal is looped around the panic bar on the emergency exit, similar to a cable tie. The seal can easily be broken when the panic bar is pushed to open the doors.

Q.Are the fire exit door security seals suitable to use on double fire exit doors in premises such as a church hall, the fire door is always being left open?

A.The security seal is designed to be looped round the panic bar or bars of the fire exit. It is attached similar to a cable tie and can be broken easily in the event of a fire but acts as a deterrent for anyone using the door as a normal exit door.
