Hi gents,
Hoping to pick your brains.
In an office block comprising of basement, ground and 2 upper floors, single staircase, multi let to differing tenants.
The Stairs are served on each level by a single 10 M long Corridor, with 4 offices (Single Rooms) off each corridor.
Bit of a rough area, and break ins happen every 6 months or so.
One Tenant, Ground floor, has own entrance as well as door to common corridor. Their Corridor door was vandalised from the corridor side, and they lost all their Equipment.
They have replaced the door with a 1 Hour Fire door, and have installed a multi locking system, which comprises a metal plate in the frame with 4 latch bolts. This has removed the Cold Smoke Seals that were in the frame.
So the door may be upgraded but the frame has not really benefitted.
There is detection throughout, in each office and corridor.
Thanks for bearing with me! I do have a question!
Should the Metal Security plate be removed, so that seals can be replaced, or would the detection on either side provide sufficient early warning?
Is there such a thing as a Door length Metal Plate which includes the strip?
What are your thoughts?
Cheers
