While high-quality locks may be the right place to start in terms of securing your doors, they certainly aren't the place to finish. That's because your doors' hinge can be just as important for protecting both you and your property.
Take fire-rated doors: They come in many shapes and sizes, but usually incorporate one of just three standard hinge types: butt hinges, pivot hinges or a continuous hinge. On the other hand, even with just this trio of options to consider, there are plenty of variables that need to be taken into account.
What is the door made of? Where is it located? How is it attached to its frame? And just looking at butt hinges, the National Fire Protection Association lists a number of specific regulations regarding hole size, hole diameter and hole location. Getting things wrong can prevent a business from opening due to code violations, or even worse could happen if a fire actually occurs and a fire door isn't hung properly.
