NGP GAPGUARD:1st Choice for Fire Safety & Code Compliance
A constant in the world of fire safety and fire code compliance has been fire doors. The NFPA has been the regulatory body in the fire safety world since 1896. Since its inception, these standardized fire doors codes have been adopted over various times depending on the municipality. Thus, the issue of compliant versus non-compliant doors has become an ongoing concern. Prior to NGP’s GAPGUARD™, if a door was not compliant with codes set in place, the door would have to be removed and replaced in its entirety. Thanks to NGP, this has all changed. With the addition of NGP’s GAPGUARD™ accessories, facility managers, security professionals, and all construction project managers can now implement this product to effortlessly upgrade non-compliant fire doors to become up to UL-90 certified.
A Fire Door "Gap" is the space between the door and the door frame head, jamb or floor. When this space exceeds tolerances (defined by NFPA 80 and enforced by The Joint Commission), it is considered "excessive". The problem with an excessive gap is that it can allow the smoke and/or fire to pass through the opening, jeopardizing the integrity of the door.
