Door Configuration

Doors have different configurations and the types you may come across include; single door, pairs of doors (double doors) and with single or double action hinges allowing the door to open (or swing) in a single or dual direction.

These are often abbreviated to:

  • SA / SL (Single Acting – Single Leaf)
  • SA / DL (Single Acting – Double Leaf)
  • DA / SL (Double Acting – Single Leaf)
  • DA / DL (Double Acting – Double Leaf)

Below are some diagrams of different configurations:

 

Each fire door configuration requires a separate test to ensure it is fit for purpose.
