The purpose of fire doors is to hinder the progress of flames and smoke during a fire outbreak.
By closing them, fire doors effectively divide a building into compartments, creating a secure route of escape. As a crucial component of a building's passive fire protection system, fire doors play a critical role in preserving lives and reducing harm to the structure.
