Safely containing fire and smoke
Structural fire safety measures cannot prevent fires from occurring. Fire safety doors from
Gilgen, however, ensure that a fire is limited to as small an area as possible. Automatic fire
barriers offer the usual convenience while preventing flames from spreading to other parts
of the building in the event of a fire.

New build or renovation – your planning has to include fire barriers and emergency exits.

SLIDING DOORS WITH
SMOKE AND FIRE PROTECTION
A good fire-rated automatic sliding door is not only impressive in the event of a fire but in day-
to-day use too. Gilgen doors deliver top quality, the highest safety standards and compliance
with statutory guidelines. Thanks to a diverse range of additional functions, our TÜV-approved
doors offer virtually endless possibilities.
In day-to-day use smoke and fire-rated
automatic sliding doors offer the con-
venient advantages of automatic doors:
contactless, barrier-free access.
In the event of fire our fire-rated
automatic sliding doors help slow the
spread of the flames. The doors divide
your premises into separate sections and
reduce the risk of fire spreading through-
out the building.
If smoke is detected the smoke-rated
automatic sliding doors close instantly
to ensure reliable smoke control. The
premises are also sectioned into separate
smoke zones to prevent the smoke from
spreading further.
In an emergency our doors provide a
life-saving emergency exit. Our fire-rated
automatic sliding doors with emergency
exit function can be opened manually
like a swing door in the event of fire –
ensuring a safe escape route.

How does a fire safety door function in an emergency?
If a smoke/fire alarm is triggered in your building, the complete sliding door installation closes slowly and securely.
The same applies in the event of power failure. In the safe CLOSED position the sliding door leaves lock mechanically.
Fire-rated sliding door
In an emergency, all you have to do is briefly press the illuminated manual switch next to the sliding
door. The sliding door will open briefly and automatically close again immediately afterwards.
Emergency exit with BREAK-IN/BREAK-OUT
Normality and familiar procedures are particularly helpful in an emergency. The sliding door leaves can
therefore be opened up like a swing door in an emergency. This provides an escape route, and the
mechanical door closers ensure that the fire barrier is then closed again. The choice is yours:
the emergency exit function can be activated at any time or only triggered in the event of fire.
- Standard door handle (one side or both sides)
- Door handle as per EN 179
- Pushbar as per EN 1125 (only with BREAK-OUT)
Fire/smoke-rated sliding door
If battery closure is permitted in your country, you can actuate and close your doors using emergency
operating mode with battery and charge monitoring. Alternatively, a SCHNETZ closing device is available
for your complete sliding door installation. In both cases, Gilgen doors deliver top quality and the
highest safety standards.
