Counter Fire Door
Overview:
Counter fire rolling doors are a crucial safety feature designed to contain and control the spread of fire in commercial settings, up to 3-HOUR UL-rated fire and smoke closures. Ideal for service counters, kitchens, or areas with high fire risk, these doors provide a reliable barrier that automatically activates in case of a fire emergency. Their quick response and ability to compartmentalize spaces make them indispensable in applications where fire safety is paramount, such as restaurants, industrial kitchens, or facilities with sensitive equipment.
