At Gerda Security, we understand the critical role that a fire doorset plays in ensuring your safety. That’s why we design and test our doorsets to be more than just doors; but to be comprehensive systems built to meet and exceed the most rigorous fire safety standards. This blog post will explore why you should choose Gerda fire doorsets and the many ways in which they help to guarantee your safety.

Why Test a Fire Doorset Together?

A fire doorset is a complete unit that includes the door leaf, the frame, and all the associated interdependent parts hardware (handles, hinges, etc). Our fire doorsets have been extensively tested for fire resistance, smoke control, weather durability and acoustics.

Unlike other providers that test individual components separately, at Gerda Security, we choose to test the various elements that make up a given doorset  together, as the complete doorset in primary tests. This holistic approach ensures that ‘what we test’ and ‘what we install’ are always the same, and helps to ensure that our doorsets are ready to withstand any challenge, providing you with the highest standard of fire safety.

By testing these components together, our doorsets are accredited under specification, such as the Q Mark scheme for Fire Door Manufacture. This means that our fire doorsets are guaranteed to provide optimal performance when it matters most.

Fire Door Tracing and Maintenance: A Necessity

At Gerda Security, we understand that a fire doorset is not a one-time purchase; it requires regular maintenance to ensure it remains in top condition. To facilitate this, we provide a service that allows for easy tracing and maintenance of your doorset. This proactive approach ensures that your fire doorset always provides the highest level of safety and protection.

As part of our commitment to providing superior solutions for fire safety, we have developed the Gerda G-Smart App. This mobile app automates and simplifies the process of tracking maintenance, repairs, and changes in fire safety legislation that concern each doorset installed in your property. This helps you and any other responsible persons stay ahead of the curve when it comes to ensuring your fire certified doorsets remain compliant, and uphold the safety of your premises.

The G-Smart App is crucial in this regard because it ensures that every component of your fire protection system continues to meet the established product standards for fire safety. By providing comprehensive traceability, the G-Smart App helps to guarantee that your fire doorset remains fully rated for fire safety at all times.

When it comes to fire doorsets, the importance of regular maintenance cannot be overstated. We have each fire doorset tested together because even minor components make a difference when it comes to preventing the spread of fire. With the G-Smart App, you can effortlessly keep track of the status of each part of your fire doorset, ensuring that all components are functioning as they should.

The Gerda Advantage

Choosing a Gerda fire doorset comes with numerous advantages – not the least of which is Gerda’s commitment to providing doorsets that perform at the highest standards possible in terms of fire resistance, smoke resistance and acoustic protection.

A Gerda doorset comes with the assurance of installation services from a licensed installer, ensuring that your fire doorset is installed with precision and accuracy. Proper installation is crucial as it directly affects the efficiency and fire safety of the doorset. Our fully qualified and independently-certified installation personnel ensure that your doorset is installed correctly in your property, and ready to keep occupants well-protected against fire, smoke and other threats.

We say this because our fire resistant doorsets are also rigorously tested for acoustic performance. This additional acoustic testing is not just an afterthought either, but a significant part of the overall design. The aim is to provide a comfortable living environment for residents by reducing unwanted noise – which in some buildings led to fire doors being propped open, nullifying the safety measure altogether.

Conclusion

A Gerda fire doorset is a commitment to safety. With our comprehensive testing regime, certified products, proactive maintenance approach, and additional advantages, we ensure that our doorsets provide the highest level of protection. Choose Gerda Security for your fire doorset needs and experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re protected by the best.
