Life Safety Doors (LSDs) are doorsets which have smoke leakage certification as tested to Australian Standards 1530.7, and which may also have certified fire ratings as tested to Australian Standards 1530.4. In recent years the demand for "smoke doors" has increased, largely due to the proliferation of Fire Engineered buildings. In many cases the doorset required by the Fire Engineer's design calls for both smoke and fire resistance. Only Life Safety Doors offer a tested and certified solution for smoke and smoke/fire applications in both single and pair door combinations.

Designers are now able to choose doorset models which offer 0, 30, or 60 minute fire resistance PLUS tested smoke leakage rates to AS1530.7 or the requirements of the Building Code of Australia 2004, Specification C3.4, so known (tested) data can be inserted in to the Fire Engineering model resulting in a higher level of confidence in the final design. The selected doorset can be inserted by model number by the Fire Engineer, resulting in the correct type of door leaf, frame and seals being installed during construction.

To choose the appropriate LSD for you application, firstly determine the FRL required, then determine the smoke resistance required, and finally the seal combination and acoustic rating required. Once you have determined these requirements, download the corresponding tech sheet from the list below. You can also download the various test certificates that provide detailed smoke test results for the seal combination required. Alternatively you can download the entire LSD product manual

Always specify that the door must be ‘equally tested and certified’. Only this way will you be assured that the installed door will meet the criteria that was originally required. If you do not specify which seal combination is required, the default seal combination will be supplied (see below).
