Do fire doors in hotels close when a wall alarm is broken?

Best Answer

There are many different kinds of fire doors and not all of them are tied to the alarm system. Some fire doors will only close when there is enough heat to sever a fusible link.

However, as a general rule, automatically closing fire doors that are latched open with electrical controls would release the latch and close the relevant fire doors upon triggering of the fire alarm by any initiating device.

What happens to automatic doors when a fire alarm is activated?

Automatic door systems and the fire alarm systems are linked together. Automatic doors are held open by strong magnetic type devices, that are activated(turned on) during normal activity. When the alarm is activated, the devices are shut off and the doors close. These doors are programmed to close in an effort to keep smoke and flames from spreading too far(these doors are usually strongly fire resistant.) Once the alarm is shut off/reset, the devices will be activated again and will remain open once somebody opens the doors back up. Another type of "automatic door" is a fire door that slams shut (springs, counterbalances, gravity, etc) when the heat-sensitive link melts, or when a fire alarm is activated. These heavy doors are NOT intended to be opened during a fire for means of escape, so there must be other doors accessible for people to escape the area safely.

Does a car alarm go off when the red blinking light is on?

A car that has a alarm will usually have a red light on the instrument panel that when you lock the car with the key fob will come on and stay on for a few seconds. After the alarm is set the light will begin to flash. To test the alarm roll down the drivers window and close all the doors and trunk and on some cars even the hood has to be closed. Lock the doors with your key fob and when the red light starts to blink unlock the door manually by reaching inside to unlock it and open the door from the outside. The alarm should sound. To turn off the alarm use the key fob to unlock the doors.
