It has been found that 61% of deaths involving fire were caused by smoke inhalation and that one in 12 fire doors fail or are wedged open. The definition of a fire door is a door assembly which is designed to hold back fire and smoke for a designated period, and has been tested under conditions described in British Standard 476: Part 22. Fire doors provide a barrier to prevent the spread of smoke and flame. They need to be kept closed at all times, unless held open by a professional electrical close system which releases the door on activation of a fire alarm.

Fire Suppression Systems are used with smoke detectors and fire alarm systems to improve and increase personal safety as well as protect your business critical operations. These systems work by starving the fire of oxygen or heat to extinguish it. The system will normally use smoke detectors to detect a fire which triggers the release of gas into the area. The gas then suffocates the fire by removing the oxygen or heat needed to burn. The benefits of this type of system include safe and environmentally friendly gas, no cleanup is required as no residue is left behind and the systems can be used in a variety of areas including server, switch, battery and transformer rooms.
