A fire resistant door leaf (30, 32) comprises a core (42) and a lipping (50, 52) extending along at least one edge (40) of the core (42). The lipping (50, 52) is of plastic material (60) and is bonded to the edge (40) of the core, and comprises at least one strip of intumescent material (62) extending parallel to the edge (40) of the core. The at least one strip of intumescent material (62) is covered by the plastic material (60) of the lipping, and the plastic material (60) is cast or moulded against the at least one strip of intumescent material (62). The fire resistant door leaf (30, 32) may be formed by locating the at least one strip of intumescent material (62) along the edge (40) of the core and subsequently forming the lipping (50, 52) by casting or moulding the plastic material (60) of the lipping to the core in a liquid or semi-liquid state to cover the at least one strip of intumescent material (62) and curing the plastic material in situ (60).

The present disclosure relates to an air tight door, and the air tight door according to the present disclosure is characterized to include a frame including a first longitudinal member disposed at each of both lateral sides and an upper side of an opening, and a second longitudinal member disposed at a lower side of the opening; a door that is rotatably connected to the first longitudinal member disposed at one side of the opening so as to open and/or close the opening; a first sealing that is disposed at each of the first longitudinal member of the frame, and that closely contacts the door in a state where the door has closed the opening; and a second sealing that is elevatably disposed at a lower end of the door, and that descends from the lower end of the door to closely contact an upper surface of the second longitudinal member in the state where the door has closed the opening; a locking device that fixes a position of the door in the state where the door has closed the opening; and an actuating device disposed at each of both surfaces of the door so as to unlock the locking device.

Disclosed herein is an insulated door which is thermally insulating, low maintenance and easy to operate, even where the door is large and/or constitutes multiple panels. The insulated door is surrounded by a door frame. The door may comprise one or more insulated panels, where each of the panels has four edges, and at least one edge is insulated with a thermal seal. The door has at least one lower lifting hinge and at least one upper sliding hinge connecting the door to the door frame. An exterior mounted first latch may be included for maintaining the insulated door in a closed position.

A fire rated door includes a core, a first decorative panel and a second decorative panel. The core includes: (a) a gypsum-based fire resistant center panel having a bottom, a top, a first side, a second side, a first end and a second end, wherein the gypsum-based fire resistant center panel is made of a first gypsum-based fire resistant material, and (b) an extruded gypsum-based fire resistant border attached to the first side, the second side, the first end and the second end of the gypsum-based fire resistant center panel, wherein the extruded gypsum-based fire resistant border is made of a second gypsum-based fire resistant material having a higher density than the first gypsum-based fire resistant material. The first decorative panel is attached to the top of the gypsum-based fire resistant center panel and the extruded gypsum-based fire resistant border. The second decorative panel is attached to the bottom of the gypsum-based fire resistant center panel and the extruded gypsum-based fire resistant border.

A nozzle access device is configured to be installed in a structural element and to accept connection by a fire hose nozzle to introduce firefighting fluid into an enclosed space. The device has a housing configured to be inserted in a hole formed in the structural element. The housing has a cylindrical body and a first face with an opening surrounded by an inwardly extending cylindrical socket. The housing has a second face, with an opening, which is attached to the cylindrical body. A movable nozzle connector in the housing has a connection portion configured to receive an inserted fire hose nozzle in a locking connection and a cylindrical nozzle stop portion extending from the connection portion. The nozzle stop portion is movably coupled within an interior of the socket of the first face.

A door assembly includes: a rotatable curtain deployment member positionable about a structure opening; a curtain panel fixed to the curtain deployment member, the curtain being movable, upon rotation of the curtain deployment member, between a retracted position and an extended position, the curtain panel having at least one portion of increased thickness; a rotatable balancing strip member configured to substantially parallel with the curtain deployment member, and configured to rotate synchronously therewith in a common rotational direction, and a balancing strip having a first end attached to the balancing strip member, and a second end attached to the curtain deployment member and axially spaced from the portion of increased thickness. When the curtain panel deploys to the retracted position, the balancing strip deploys to the curtain deployment member, and when the curtain panel deploys to the extended position, the balancing strip deploys to the balancing strip member.

A door frame system comprises a wall and a door frame. The door frame comprises a sub-buck portion and a shell portion, coupled to the sub-buck portion. The sub-buck portion comprises a sub-buck mounting arm including at least one mounting aperture, a sub-buck rabbet arm coupled to one end of the sub-buck mounting arm and a sub-buck support arm coupled to the sub-buck mounting arm opposite the sub-buck rabbet arm. The sub-buck portion is surface mounted to a single surface of the wall through the at least one mounting aperture.
