UK: Rhino Doors has successfully fire-tested bespoke self-closing doors designed for the cross passages of Transport for London’s Moorgate station. The doors are intended to provide passengers with reduced mobility with a place of refuge during emergencies, and feature panic bars and vision panels.
The double-leaf doors were tested for fire integrity from both sides for 60 min, in accordance with EN1634-1. Rhino said the back-to-back tests ‘far exceeded’ the 60 min testing expectations and successfully achieved a 2 h rating.
‘We now have an established and verified door design that will find applications not only in rail projects, but also in other market sectors requiring high-performance, stainless steel fire doors’, said Dr Chris Norris, Group Engineering Director of Rhino Engineering Group.
