Improved Fire Safety

In case of a fire, having this extra protection enables people to get out safely or be rescued. If a regular lock is used in a door, a fire could pass through, damaging more property and putting lives in danger.

Compliance with Building Codes

In several areas, building codes require fire-rated locks to be installed on the doors leading to stairwells or doorways that separate living spaces from garages. Installing such locks allows homeowners to comply with the laws and safety standards.

Stopping the Spread of Smoke

By blocking smoke, which is one of the leading causes of death during a fire incident, and fire-rated doors provide extra safety. Their presence prevents the fire from entering and cutting off the air supply in the room. This is extra vital, especially when a fire starts at night and the family members are unaware.

Increased Home Security

Fire-rated locks protect your home from break-ins and make it more difficult for intruders and robbers to get in.  Even if there is a fire or other stressful situation, the sturdy reinforcement of the lock will keep the door closed.
