PERFORMANCE AND CONFORMITY INFORMATION
Mechanical Durability Approach
A door-set approach that considers the leaf, frame and moving hardware together for buildings with intensive use.
Reliable long-term operation in buildings with intensive use depends on the compatibility of the door leaf, frame, hinges, lock, closer and connection points.
Mechanical durability should be considered for the complete door set rather than the leaf alone. Traffic levels, opening direction, wall details and selected hardware are evaluated together with the project conditions.
A specific test cycle, use class or performance value should be stated only when verified technical documentation covers the relevant product configuration. The technical scope is reviewed separately when selecting a door set for a project.
