Some items of building hardware are essential to ensure that the fire-resisting door stays closed in its frame in a fire emergency.

The surface vertical rod exit device mounts to the surface of the door. A top and a bottom rod extend the full height of the door and are attached to latch-bolt assemblies. The top latch-bolt assembly engages a strike that can be either surface-applied or mortised into the soffit of the frame. The bottom latch-bolt assembly can latch into a surface-applied or mortise strike in the floor. A latch-track threshold can also serve as a strike to secure the bottom latch-bolt assembly. Similar to rim exit devices, the operating trim extends through the door thickness and engages the lock case of the exit device. The clearance between the door bottom and the finished floor is an important dimension that needs to be addressed. Depending on the design of the latch-bolt assembly and the strike, the doors may have to be ordered with a non-standard undercut to ensure the latch-bolt can properly engage the strike.

Fire door is one of the measures for building fire separation. It plays an important role in preventing the spread and spread of smoke and fire and reducing the loss.Some items of building hardware are essential to ensure that the fire resisting door stays closed in its frame in a fire emergency.

In order to provide an effective barrier to a fully developed fire, a door has to remain closed within the frame. In the case of single action doors, this role might be undertaken by a latch. In certain cases there is a need for a lock to be fitted to a fire-resisting door. This might be on a duct door which is normally kept locked with only occasional access to service equipment, or other fire-resisting doors which for security reasons are locked for periods of time.

Due to tooling costs and similar considerations, variations of hinge sizes and fixing methods are not easily accommodated on a steel door. Steel door manufacturers generally provide their own steel hinges, which otherwise comply with these requirements, as part of the fire-resisting steel door-set and these are covered by evidence of performance.

To ensure the quality of fire doors, the selection of hardware accessories is also an important link. Since fire doors are special for fire protection, their accessories must of course also be special for fire protection, so the selection of fire door hardware accessories must be strict. Reasonable installation, proper management, and use in place are directly related to the fire protection effect of the fire door.
