What Is The Role Of Lock In Fire Prevention

For the fire prevention, multiple scopes we should pay attention to, but as a lock manufacturer we are going to share some knowledge of how to prevent the spread of the fires by choosing a right lock.

As a fire proof door lock, it should be equipped with the high-temperature resistance capability, so that it could keep the fireproof door tightly closed, to prevent the fire from a massive spread.

How can we tell if a lock have high-temperature resistance capability?

Lock main body is  non-combustibility material

Latch and deadbolt should not retract without manpower operation.

Latch and deadbolt should not distort at least 90 minutes in fire.

Now more and more people would install smart door lock at home. And of course, they should also be officially qualified as fireproof products.

A qualified electronic door lock system should be launched in the market after critical test in professional lab. And different countries have different methods and standards for this, for example, in American market we will have UL & CUL standard, while Europe will have the EN1634-1 standard. Before you choosing the lock you can check if the electronic door lock system have relevant certificate or not. And that is the quick way to make a correct choice.

As a door lock manufacturer for more than 26 years, HUNEreckoned that we have the obligation to offer our user a qualifiedelectronic door lock system which would meet up with different fireproof standards, and that is why we spend so much energy and funds to do all the tests, such as UL, CUL and CNAS.
