Won-Door has introduced the new FireGuard Slim™ door model, a cost-effective, accordion-style door designed to replace traditional fire-rated swing doors. FireGuard Slim enhances the design appeal and traffic flow of narrow-corridor and small-opening applications.
According to Won-Door General Manager Johnny Cordero, “Slim allows architects to create open and inviting buildings while offering trouble-free operation. With no exposed hardware, the concealed Slim system virtually eliminates maintenance costs. Plus, it is easier to install and service than swing doors, saving time and money.”
Connected to the building’s master alarm, the door deploys automatically when an emergency arises. When in an open position, Slim allows full visibility of hallways and utilization of the full corridor width for unobstructed traffic flow. Specifier’s options include up to a 90-minute fire rating and openings up to 9 feet wide and 8 feet tall. The optional SE designation allows for use at the point of access to an elevator car which satisfies the UL 1784 Air Leakage requirement without the use of an artificial bottom seal.

“The new FireGuard Slim deploys only when needed and replaces the more cumbersome and visually unappealing, traditional swing doors,” Mr. Cordero says. “This system has been designed with the needs of visionary design professionals in mind AND is also a cost-effective and practical solution for owners and property managers.”
