Fire-resistant double-leaf sliding doors are designed to separate fire compartments and are particularly suitable for locations where there is insufficient space to accommodate a conventional single-leaf sliding gate on one side of the opening. The two gate leaves open from the centre in opposite directions, reducing the lateral space required on each side of the opening.

These doors are primarily used in industrial and production halls, warehouses, logistics facilities and technical installations. Depending on the specific design, they achieve fire resistance ratings from EW 15 to EW 120 and EI 15 to EI 120.

Main Advantages

  • Reduced lateral space requirements on each side of the opening
  • Double-leaf design with centre-opening operation
  • Suitable for locations where a single-leaf sliding gate cannot be installed
  • Optional electric opening
  • Wide range of optional equipment

Construction

The gate leaves consist of individual steel slats with fire-resistant infill, each independently suspended from a trolley. Both leaves travel along an overhead guide rail mounted above the building opening and slide in opposite directions when opened. The standard surface finish is galvanised steel sheet, with optional colours available according to the RAL colour chart. The self-closing mechanism operates using a counterweight system, while a hydraulic speed regulator ensures a controlled and consistent closing speed.

Optional Equipment

Depending on the project requirements, the gate can be equipped with:

  • Electric opening
  • Integrated personnel doors or emergency exit doors
  • Fire-resistant glazing maintaining the required fire resistance rating
  • Smoke-tight construction
  • Stainless steel construction
  • Additional activation and safety devices

Product parameters

Gate Leaves

Each gate leaf consists of multiple individual steel slats, each 300–1,100 mm wide. The slats are interconnected using a special joining system that leaves no visible protrusions or screw heads. The total gate leaf thickness is 62 mm. Each slat has a surface made of 0.75 mm thick galvanised steel sheet, which is fully bonded to the fire-resistant infill. The end-stop profile and labyrinth profiles are galvanised as standard. All components can also be supplied with a surface finish in a selected RAL colour.

Suspension System

Each individual slat is independently suspended from a trolley equipped with ball bearings, allowing smooth movement along the overhead guide rail.

Guide Rail

The guide rail consists of a special cold-rolled, galvanised C-profile, mounted to the wall using steel brackets. The entire guiding system is protected by a galvanised sheet metal cover, which can also be supplied in a selected RAL colour.

Floor Guide

The floor guide is positioned outside the clear opening, to the side of the gate.

Fittings and Closing Mechanism

Each gate leaf is equipped with a tubular handle on the side facing away from the wall and a recessed shell-shaped handle on the wall-facing side. The end position is secured by an end-stop buffer mounted on a bracket. Automatic self-closing is provided by a counterweight system, with the counterweight shaft enclosed in galvanised sheet metal. A hydraulic speed regulator ensures a uniform closing speed. The gate is also equipped with a mechanism designed to facilitate easy manual operation during everyday use.

Special Equipment at Additional Cost

  • Electromagnetic hold-open device

  • Integrated personnel door with threshold
  • Emergency exit door without threshold
  • Panic lock for emergency exit doors
  • Entry and exit flaps
  • Ceiling-mounted installation
  • Fire-resistant vision panels maintaining the required fire resistance rating
  • Electric opening
  • High-speed drive
  • Smoke-tight construction
  • Surface finish in a selected RAL colour
  • Stainless steel construction available upon special request

Activation Devices

  • Remote control
  • Push button, key switch and pull-cord switch
  • Radar sensor
  • Induction loop

Safety Equipment

  • Flashing beacon or warning light
  • Safety photoelectric beam
  • Acoustic warning device

Installation Requirements

The gate can be installed on the following supporting structures, subject to the applicable structural and fire protection requirements:

  • 140 mm concrete, meeting the strength requirements of DIN 1045
  • 175 mm masonry, meeting the strength requirements of DIN 1053-1
  • 200 mm aerated concrete blocks, combined with a steel lintel designed according to structural calculations; the opening reveal must be extended by 25 mm on the closing side and by 65 mm at the end-stop profile
  • 175 mm wall panels
  • Steel supporting beams clad with fire-resistant plasterboard
