Q

Special Hinges

A
  • Raised barrel hinges – used when insufficient space for barrel to extend past door trim.
  • Swing clear hinges – allow door to swing 90-95 degrees so full opening of doorway is available; standard hinges reduce doorway width by thickness of door

Q

Pivots

A

used where hinge appearance objectionable, or for frameless doors

  • May be center hung or offset
  • Very tall doors require offset pivots, with one or more intermediate pivots
  • Center hung pivots (usually) allow door to swing in either direction 180 degrees
  • Can be used alone, or as part of a closer assembly
  • Center hung pivots difficult to seal
  • Center hung pivots usually mounted 2-3/4” from frame edge, but can be mounted anywhere, including center of door

21
Q

Concealed closers

A

Can be concealed in door or frame, stronger anchorage provided by installation in frame

22
Q

Pivot closers

A
  • Incorporate both a pivot and a door closer in one mechanism
  • Available for both center and offset-hung doors
  • Can be mounted in floor or above door for center-hung doors; offset-hung doors require floor closers
  • Heavy doors (over 200 lbs.) should use floor closers
  • Usually mounted in concrete floors with cement case; can be installed in wood floors if sufficient anchorage
23
Q

3 levels for Closer Grades & Size rating

A

Grade 1 to 3. Grade 1 is the most durable and is used for doors that have a high frequency of use and abuse.
-Closers are also rated by “size” 2 to 6: the higher the number the grater the closing force

24
Q

Door Seals

A

Used along edges of doors to provide tight seals against smoke, light, and sound; made from neoprene, felt, metal, polyurethane, and vinyl

25
Q

Smoke Seals

A
  • Fire-rated seals required on fire doors to prevent smoke/draft passage
  • Used on head & jamb sections
26
Q

Light and sound seals

A
  • Block light & sound
  • Usually compressible neoprene
  • Double-door seals used in critical locations, such as sound studios
27
Q

2 types of Intumescent seals

A
  • Expand upon heat exposure
  • Hard-puff and soft-puff materials used in construction 500 degrees
  • soft-puff used on doors – expansion at 250-300 degrees
  • Elastomeric gaskets must be used in addition to intumescent seal to maintain seal below 300 degrees
28
Q

Automatic door bottoms

A
  • Used when door undercut requires sealing – light/sound seals, some fire doors
  • Activates when door is closed
  • Requires solid, smooth floor or threshold to provide seal
29
Q

Deadbolts:

A

:lock component with end that extends from lock by action of lock mechanism.
-Most codes limit use to residential, hotel use – must have thumb turn on interior

30
Q

Locksets – four types discussed previously

A
  • Bored locksets sufficient for residential, small commercial projects
  • Mortise and interconnected locks provide greater security, greater functional range for most other projects
31
Q

Flush bolts

A

devices mortised into door edge allowing bolt to extend into head frame/floor by manual lever operation

  • Used on pairs of doors so inactive leaf can be locked, providing fixed strike for active leaf locking
  • Prohibited on exit doors and many other doors by building codes
  • Automatic flush bolts may be used on exit doors
32
Q

Keying

A

Keying refers to a system of matching keys to specific locks and door openings and determining which key will operate which lock.

33
Q

Construction keys

A

often used during construction, temporarily operates all locks until permanent keying system is established – prevents construction crew from having functioning keys after construction is completed

34
Q

Coordinators

A

prevent active leaf in double door pair from closing first, which would prevent proper closing of inactive leaf

35
Q

Door stops and bumpers

A

prevent door & attached hardware from impacting wall & adjacent construction. Can be wall or floor mounted; many designs available

36
Q

Thresholds

A

used at floor material changes at doors & when using automatic door bottom seals

37
Q

Astragals

A

vertical members used between double doors to seal opening, act as door stop, or to provide extra security. May be attached to active leaf, or be separate unit against which both doors close. If overlapping astragal is used on fire doors, coordinator is also required.

38
Q

Protective coverings

A

metal plates attached to door surface to protect against damage. Text mentions use on wood doors; can also be used on other door materials

39
Q

Door Bolders

A

text describes overhead holders which hold doors open until manual release; these cannot be used on fire rated doors. Magnetic door holders can be used, as described below.

40
Q

Electronic hardware

A

hardware includes devices that control or monitor door openings using electronic or electromechanical means.

41
Q

Electric locks

A

maintain locksets in locked position until a signal activated by a regulating device; switches, computer controls, timing devices, security consoles are examples of regulating devices

42
Q

Electric bolts

A

separate from door operating hardware. Activated similar to electric locks. Not allowed on most exit doors due to inability to override in emergency if device fails to operate

43
Q

Card readers

A

regulating device that reads magnetic strip on card to operate electric locks; very flexible, allowing monitoring & time of day access control

44
Q

Key pad devices

A

are another type of regulating device; coded number input to device to gain access. Sometimes used in coordination with card readers.

45
Q

Magnetic hold-open devices

A

can be used to keep exit doors in open position until activated by smoke detector or other fire signal; also activated by power failure

46
Q

Delayed-exit devices

A

resemble standard exit (panic) hardware, but designed to stay locked for 15-30 seconds after bar depression. During this time, alarm sounds to allow response to unauthorized door opening. In actual emergency, delay deactivated

47
Q

Four most common base metals for hardware

A

steel, stainless steel, bronze, brass (Category A finish)

48
Q

Fire-rated doors require steel or stainless steel base metal

A

True

49
Q

Plated finishes can wear off over time; in many cases, best to use same base/finish metals
– plating processes very toxic to environment

A

True,

50
Q

Some finishes, such as oil-rubbed bronze, will change color with use; this may be desirable or not, but should be considered during selection

A

True, Finish category B

51
Q

Materials and Finishes (ABSI/BHMA A156)

A

Establishes 5 categories of finishes
-A: such as chrome,brass, and stainless steel offer highest potential for consistency in appearance
B: unstable
-C: finishes are hand applied
-D: for protective applications only
-E: intended to be match with comparable finishes from Categories A,B,C

52
Q

Mounting Heights per ANSI/ICC standards

A

door levers, deadbolts, and pushplates/pulls must be placed at 34” min., 48” max. height; anywhere in this range is acceptable.
