Lorient has launched its latest Fire Resistant Door Hardware brochure, which includes new products and product datasheets.
Ironmongery is a vital part of a fire door. However, every time a fire door is cut to fit ironmongery, a weakness is created.
This could mean three or four weak points in a door, where fire can take hold. Adding intumescent door hardware kits protect those weak points.
Lorient’s new brochure includes a wide range of products including fire, smoke + security letterplates, door edge protectors, wide angle viewers, and a number of door hardware protection kits; which are made from intumescent sheet.
These are wrapped around each piece of ironmongery, such as hinges, locks and latches, door viewers and concealed closers, acting as an insulator.

– New product datasheets
– Test evidence up to 120mins across a number of products
