A fire door can't do its job if it doesn't close. It sounds simple, but reliable closing is a critical part of fire door performance. Door closers are designed to return a door to its closed position after use. On fire and smoke protection doors, this helps the door form the barrier it was designed to provide, helping to restrict the spread of fire and smoke. But fire safety doesn't exist in isolation. Doors also need to work for the people using them every day, which means considering accessibility, ease of use and the requirements of the individual building. That's where the right specification matters. dormakaba offers a range of door control solutions designed to help meet the demands of fire safety and accessible building design. This Fire Door Safety Week, we're helping keep the conversation around safer buildings open — while making sure the right doors close when they need to. #FDSW2026 #FireDoorSafetyWeek #FireSafety #DoorHardware #Accessibility #dormakaba

A fire door is more than just a door. This Fire Door Safety Week, we're highlighting the important role every part of a fire door assembly plays in helping protect people and property. From the door itself to the closer, hinges, seals and other hardware, each component has a job to do. For a fire door to perform as intended, those components need to work together as a tested and compatible system. At dormakaba, we understand the role door hardware plays in creating safer buildings, helping doors close reliably while balancing fire safety, security and accessibility. Throughout #FireDoorSafetyWeek, we'll be sharing some of the things worth knowing about the doors we rely on every day.

"World Patient Safety Day reminds us that safer healthcare starts with safer environments. Patient safety extends beyond clinical care. It begins with the spaces where care is delivered. Healthcare workers continue to face workplace violence, while evolving infection prevention standards have permanently reshaped healthcare facility design. When safety isn't embedded into a facility's infrastructure, the impact is felt across the entire care journey—delayed patient discharges, higher operational costs, increased staff turnover, and greater risks for everyone. Creating safer healthcare environments starts with intentional design. From secure access points and specialised door hardware to integrated control systems, every element plays a role in protecting patients, staff, and visitors. This World Patient Safety Day, let's recognise that safer facilities support safer care. Connect with us to learn how infrastructure can strengthen patient safety from the ground up.
