Fire Safety Revolution: The Unseen Guardian of Cinema Safety

In the world of entertainment, where magic happens on screen, safety must never take a backstage role. Our certified steel fire doors represent the gold standard in cinema protection, seamlessly integrating into your facility while standing ready to become impenetrable barriers against disaster when every second counts.


Engineered for Maximum Protection, Superior Fire Resistance Certification

Our cinema fire doors boast certified fire resistance ratings of up to 90-120 minutes, exceeding industry standards for public entertainment venues. Tested according to EN1634 and UL10C standards, these doors provide crucial time for complete evacuation and fire department response. The doors maintain structural integrity even at extreme temperatures exceeding 1,700°F, effectively compartmentalizing fires and preventing spread to other sections of the cinema complex.


Military-Grade Steel Construction

Crafted from 1.6mm to 2.0mm thick cold-rolled steel with reinforced internal structures, our doors withstand both daily heavy usage and emergency conditions. The solid steel core provides exceptional stability, while specialized intumescent seals automatically expand when temperatures reach approximately 200°C, creating an airtight smoke barrier that blocks toxic fumes – the primary cause of fire-related fatalities.Critical Role in Cinema Emergency Scenarios.During a fire emergency, our doors serve as the cornerstone of your safety strategy.


Compartmentalization Strategy

Properly installed throughout projection rooms, electrical rooms, hallways, and between auditoriums, these doors create vital fire zones that contain blazes in their area of origin. This compartmentalization prevents the "chimney effect," where fire rapidly spreads through vertical openings, giving patrons precious extra minutes to reach safety.


Protected Escape Routes

The doors maintain the integrity of designated escape routes, ensuring exits remain passable throughout the evacuation process. Our doors feature certified hardware that remains operational even under extreme heat conditions, with panic bars and push-paddle mechanisms that allow smooth flow of evacuating crowds without compromising fire separation.


Life-Saving Guidance

For Cinema Staff:

  • Keep all fire doors closed at all times unless equipped with automatic closing devices.

  • Never block or obstruct fire doors with equipment, furniture, or decorations.

  • Conduct regular inspections to ensure doors close completely and latches engage properly.

  • Train staff on directing patrons through appropriate fire doors during drills and actual emergencies.

For Patrons:

  • When alarms sound, proceed calmly to the nearest marked exit.

  • Fire doors will feel warm but remain safe to touch during initial evacuation phases.

  • Once through a fire door, ensure it closes completely behind you.

  • Never prop open fire doors or attempt to re-enter through them once evacuated.

  • Follow illuminated exit signs that mark the path through fire-protected corridors.
