Does anyone have much experience with fire pins/plugs as part of a fire door?
I came across some during a project to replace fire doors. There's a male and female component but ultimately a pin/plug is released at high temperature and goes into a hole to secure a pair of fire rated double doors. My question is: are the pins just a substitute for a lower latch or is there some special code or regulatory driver for them? Submitted anonymously and posted for discussion.
