Introducing the MK2 Door Coordinator to the French Market
The MK2 Door Coordinator is now entering the French market, providing a solution designed to ensure steel or timber self-closing double doors close in the correct sequence, a critical feature for fire and smoke protection.
In this blog, we’ll share why the MK2 is an excellent choice for use in buildings in France and outlines how it complies with European fire safety standards.
FIRE SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE IN FRANCE
France has a strong focus on fire safety, particularly in Établissements Recevant du Public (ERP), buildings open to the public, including schools, hospitals, retail centres, theatres, sports facilities, and hotels. ERPs are subject to strict regulations, including requirements for fire doors. Correct double door coordination in these settings is essential to prevent gaps that could allow smoke or fire to spread.
The MK2 Door Coordinator is rigorously tested and assessed to BS EN 1158, the European standard for door coordinator devices.
Compliance with EN 1158 ensures:
Accurate closing sequence for double leaf doors
Enhanced protection against fire and smoke
Reliable performance for both new and existing fire-rated double doors
KEY BENEFITS OF THE MK2 DOOR COORDINATOR
Designed with both compliance and usability in mind, the MK2 is lightweight and can be delivered through multiple logistics options. It carries EN testing, UL listing, ANSI certification, and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), providing reassurance to architects, contractors, and building managers.
By entering the French market, the MK2 offers a practical and tested solution to support high fire safety standards in ERPs, combining regulatory compliance with ease of use in real-world applications.
