2 : Handing

Education Range - Handing

Ahmarra Handing Convention

Standing on the non-hinge side (door opening away), if the door opens towards the right then it is a right handed door. If it opens toward the left it is a left handed door.

3 : Dimensions

Education Range - Door Dimensions

Dimensions can be given for the structural opening and/or required door size

Ahmarra give recommended sizes for each door type, but every project can be bespoke:

A1: Structural opening height
A2: Structural opening width
B: Frame depth

4 : Fire Rating

Each door should have the correct fire rating associated, NFR, FD30 & FD60 (FD90 on request). This should be derived from the building’s fire strategy, by a professional.

Fire Door Ratings
Fire ratings for fire door assemblies are stated in minutes and prefixed by the letters ‘FD’: e.g. FD30 refers to a 30-minute fire door or fire doorset; in other words, one that offers at least 30 minutes of protection against fires. The most commonly specified integrity levels are:

  • NFR – Non-fire rated
  • FD30 – 30 minutes
  • FD60 – 60 minutes
  • FD90 – 90 minutes
NFR FD30 FD60

5 : Acoustic Rating

If acoustic sealing is a requirement for your project, ensure each door has an associated acoustic rating. Ahmarra offer 30, 35 or 40 Rw(dB) as standard for our Education Range doorsets.

If you would like to know more about acoustic ratings, please read our technical guidance here.

6 : Facings & Finishes

We offer a full range of decorative facings and finishes to complement your design scheme, just a few examples of the many facings and finishes available are shown below.

12 : Finger Protection

Hardware to reduce the risk of injury caused by finger trapping.

AhmGuard

Timber doorset with seamless integral finger protection. AhmGuard is an innovation in finger protection with its effective, seamless design, incorporating the patent protected finger safe Safehinge pivot system. The majority of anti-fingertrap solutions are retro-fit and are often unattractive and cumbersome. They work on the premise of covering the gap between the door and frame. AhmGuard’s uniquely curved door edge eliminates this gap, preventing fingers from getting trapped from both sides. The smooth curve is an integral part of the timber doorset rather than an add-on feature. AhmGuard’s discreet and ergonomic solution forms part of the full doorset and allows the customer to select from a wide choice of timber veneer and high pressure laminate options to achieve the perfect aesthetics for the building.

Technical Data

Door type suitability Single leaf, single swing internal doors of 44mm thickness
Fire rating FD30
Acoustic rating 30RwdB
Test evidence BS 8613:2017 - Type A, Class 2 - primary fire tested in accordance with BS 476 pt22
Durability Cyclic tested to a minimum of 200,000 cycles (severe duty)
Opening diameter 90°
Material Made from FSC® certified timber

Benefits

  • Aesthetically pleasing profile – perfect for design-led projects.
  • Satisfies performance requirements for; anti-finger-trapping, fire, sustainability and acoustics.
  • Negates the need for installers to install retro-fit devices on-site, reducing installation time and the risk of
    compromising compliance.
  • Fully compliant with building regulations.
  • Durable, integral solution – cannot be forcibly removed.
  • Choice of frame material, including; engineered softwood for primed frames or various lacquered hardwoods such
    as oak, ash, maple and walnut.
  • Available in the Ahmarra “Education Range” as a complete doorset with ironmongery.

Fully Certified

AhmGuard has been tested to the British Standard BS 8613:2017 “Finger Protection Devices for Pedestrian Doors”. The solution met the more onerous Class 2 of the standard, which assesses the device’s ability to prevent fingers entering the gap between the door and frame when force is used. Class 1 devices do not undergo this part of the testing.
Our doorsets are also certified for fire performance under the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme.

Retro-Fit Finger Protection

Surface mounted finger guard. Customers can of course choose to incorporate a less expressive retro-fit finger protection system if preferred, which won’t carry the same advantages as an integral system. These may be required on refurbishment projects where some existing doorsets are being retained.

Benefits

  • Sometimes considered as a value engineering option
  • Easily installed, retro-fit (useful for refurbishment projects)
  • Excellent safety solution
  • More robust than the low-end plastic guards
  • Nominal impact of door opening force
