Fire Door Assemblies 101: Prevention and Education with Lori Greene

In recognition of Fire Prevention Week, Lori Greene joined Paul Marks on the Solving For Multifamily Podcast to discuss multifamily fire safety—primarily the fire door assembly.

Fire doors are a critical component in fire prevention and life safety, but they don’t always get the recognition they deserve. In fact, fire door assemblies, which include the door, frame, and hardware, play a critical role in protecting residents by preventing the spread of fire and smoke. However, to be as effective as possible, they must meet specific fire-resistant ratings and be properly installed, maintained and inspected to function effectively.

This episode explores important topics including:

  • The importance and functionality of fire door assemblies
  • Code compliance, maintenance and education surrounding fire doors
  • Real-life examples and best practices

And more!
