What is the difference between normally open fire doors and normally closed fire doors?


Many people will wonder why some fire doors are normally open and some are normally closed. In fact, both the normally open fire doors and the normally closed fire doors are designed according to the needs of fire protection.

Chongqing Youquan doors and windows Co., Ltd. has recently installed fire doors for Chongqing Raffles square, Xi'an outlets, Guizhou Yonghui supermarket, Jiangsu Yonghui supermarket, Changzhou Yonghui supermarket, Chengdu Longhu real estate, Chengdu Adidas and HEMA Xiansheng, Chongqing rail transit, etc. Let's popularize them.


Fire doors are usually set in evacuation staircases, front rooms, pipe wells, equipment rooms and other places and parts of the door. The function of fire door is to meet the fire resistance stability and heat insulation within a certain period of time, to prevent the spread and spread of fire, to ensure the evacuation of people, which is an essential equipment in the fire protection work. Fire doors are divided into normally closed fire doors and normally open fire doors. What's the difference between them? To understand the difference between the two, we need to find out how the normally open fire door and the normally closed fire door play a role in fire protection.

Normally open fire door

Normally open fire doors are generally installed in places with large flow of people, such as schools, large shopping malls, hospitals, etc. In these places, it is not convenient to install normally closed fire doors due to frequent access to stairwells. At the same time, if the fire door is often opened, the normally closed fire door will be damaged, which will not play a role in fire prevention and form a fire hazard. Therefore, fire doors are usually installed in these places. The normally open fire door is in the open state under normal conditions, which is convenient for people to enter and exit. When there is a fire, it can be closed automatically by electric control, and the action signal is fed back at the same time. The normally open fire door is not simply to make the fire door open, it must meet the function of automatic control in case of fire. Therefore, the normally open fire door must be equipped with a fire alarm system.

Normally closed fire doors are generally installed in places with few people. Under normal conditions and in case of fire, it should be closed. When someone moves around, it needs to be pushed away, so as to prevent smoke and fire and prevent the spread of fire. For example, in the evacuation stairwell of general high-rise residential buildings, people usually use elevators and few people walk through the stairwell to reach the floor, so the fire door of the stairwell is normally closed. Even if there are people passing through, they can open and close by themselves through the door closer and sequencer (double doors).

No matter the normally open or normally closed fire doors, the newly-built projects generally design the fire door monitoring system to monitor the status of the fire doors. Through the fire door monitor set in the fire control room, real-time master the open and close status of the fire doors in the building.
    Fire doors can be divided into wood fire doors, steel fire doors, steel wood fire doors and other fire doors according to the material classification. The commonly used fire doors are wood fire doors and steel fire doors.
