Fire rated digital door locks are locking solutions used with fire-rated doors where security, controlled access and door assembly compatibility are important. Unlike a standard digital door lock, the suitability of a fire-rated digital lock should be considered in relation to the complete tested door assembly and the applicable project requirements.
For architects, builders, contractors and developers, selecting the right fire rated door lock involves checking the door type, door construction, hardware compatibility and documented fire-resistance test performance.
Onetouch has documented fire-resistance testing for selected digital door lock models as part of a door assembly. The tested models include OT500, OT630 and OT630 PRO, with the tested assembly achieving 120 minutes Integrity (E) and 20 minutes Insulation (I) under the stated test conditions.
Important: The documented fire-resistance result applies to the tested door + Onetouch Digital Door Lock assembly and should not automatically be interpreted as a standalone 120-minute fire rating for the lock.
Consider fire performance as part of the overall door assembly.
Combine controlled access with modern digital locking technology.
Ensure the lock is suitable for the specific door configuration.
Designed for demanding commercial and project environments.
Support controlled and convenient access for authorised users.
Refer to documented test results when evaluating the solution.
Fire rated locks and fire sensor locks serve different purposes. A fire rated lock is associated with the fire-performance requirements of a tested door assembly, while a fire sensor lock generally refers to a locking system with a fire or smoke detection-related function. Understanding the difference helps architects, contractors and project teams select the right solution for their application.
A fire rated lock is locking hardware considered as part of a fire-rated door assembly where fire-performance testing and compatibility with the tested configuration are important.
✓ Fire-performance focused
✓ Tested door assembly
✓ Hardware compatibility matters
A fire sensor lock generally refers to a locking or access-control solution that incorporates a fire or smoke detection-related function, such as triggering an action when a fire-related signal is received.
✓ Detection / trigger focused
✓ Fire or smoke signal integration
✓ System functionality matters
Fire Rated Digital Door Locks are digital locking solutions designed for use with fire-rated doors where the compatibility of the door, locking hardware and tested door configuration needs to be considered. Fire performance should be evaluated based on the applicable tested door assembly and project requirements.
Selected Onetouch Digital Door Locks have been included in a documented fire-resistance test assembly with a door. The tested Onetouch models include Onetouch OT500 RF, Onetouch OT500 BLE, Onetouch OT630 RF, Onetouch OT630 BLE, and OT630 PRO.
The tested door assembly achieved 120 minutes Integrity (E) and 20 minutes Insulation (I).
The result relates to the tested door assembly incorporating the Onetouch Digital Door Lock, not automatically to the standalone lock.
Yes, a digital door lock can be considered for a fire-rated door application, but the door type, hardware, installation and tested configuration must be checked for compatibility before specification.
A Fire Rated Lock refers to locking hardware used within a door configuration that has been evaluated for fire performance under a specified test configuration.
A Fire Sensor Lock generally refers to a locking or access-control solution that incorporates a fire/smoke detection or emergency-release function.
A fire sensor function does not by itself mean that the lock is fire rated.
Fire Rated Digital Door Locks are considered for applications where the door assembly has specific fire-performance requirements and the locking hardware needs to be compatible with the tested configuration.
A standard digital door lock should not automatically be assumed to be suitable for a fire-rated door.
The supplied test documentation identifies:
The test was conducted on a Door + Onetouch Digital Door Lock assembly.
BS 476-20:1987 provides general principles for determining the fire resistance of elements of construction.
BS 476-22:1987 provides methods for determining the fire resistance of non-loadbearing elements of construction, including relevant door and shutter assemblies.
IS 3614 is an Indian Standard associated with the specification of fire doors and doorsets. For a project, the applicable edition and requirements should be checked against the current project specification and applicable Indian regulations.
The National Building Code of India (NBC) provides requirements and guidance related to fire and life safety in buildings. The exact requirements applicable to a fire-rated door and its hardware depend on the building type, occupancy, fire strategy and applicable authority requirements.
Fire performance is evaluated for a specific configuration of components. The door, frame, hardware and other relevant components need to be considered together rather than assuming that one component alone provides the complete fire performance.
Share your door type, door dimensions, project requirements, access-control requirements and required fire performance with the Onetouch technical team so the appropriate configuration can be evaluated.
