3rd Party Tested and Verified Fire Doors – UL-10C and NFPA-252

Fire doors are life-saving safety installations that can play a crucial role in curbing the spread of a fire and ultimately saving precious lives and property. However, fire doors are no ordinary portals. Fire resistant doors are made with special in-filling material including rock wool, ceramic wool, honeycomb paper, and ceramic wool and board along with the sturdy metal sheet of different compositions to forge it into a combination of the door, frame, hardware, and glazing working together as one assembly.

These components are normally tested as separate products and then classified for use in fire door assemblies. There are instances where specific components are tested together, and therefore must be used together in order to maintain the fire rating.

The international standards according to which fire-rated metal door are rated are 20/45/60/90/180 minutes that are granted by third-party testing agencies and are labeled on the products. They must meet the requirements of the applicable building or life safety code, such as the UL-10C Standard for Positive PressureFire Tests of Door Assemblies and the NFPA-252 Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies.

Four Reasons Why Lockers are Important in School?

There is not just one, but four logical reasons, why prestigious schools in Pakistan are swiftly incorporating lockers in their infrastructure for every student. Lockers in schools has become a facility concerned parents are actively looking out for when searching for a worthy institute to enroll their child in.

The growing burden of books:

With the rising number of curriculum prescribed books and notebooks, the weight on the young is steadily doubling. The burden of school books is something young students are unnecessarily saddled with.

Hauling these enormous bags to and from school, lugging them around while they commute in school buses, bicycles or trudge home exhausts them physically and saps them of strength they could use is their academic or co curricular activities.

The onslaught of back problems:

With this increase in the burden of books is the alarming increase in the rate of spinal, back and neck problems faced by students. As concerned, accountable institutes schools must concentrate on nurturing pupils who are happy and healthy who can focus on learning and productive experiences and not be distracted by any form of physical discomfort. Lockers play an important role in ensuring this health and wellbeing of students.

A need for privacy and personal storage space:

The youth of today is very particular and possessive about their privacy. Personal lockers in schools give young students the opportunity to possess this private space. This is an area in which they can organize their books, stationary and other accessories they might feel the need to carry to school in their own way.

It makes students responsible enough to remember to carry the required books home for homework and ensure that the locker is securely locked. The skill they learn from looking after their own possessions and nurturing a sense of belonging is something which will stay with them for a lifetime.

A locker is also a great way for students to brand as their own personal space, by embellishing it with stickers and photos and manifest their unique personality, likes and dislikes.

Security:

Last but certainly not the least is the school’s responsibility of providing spaces which ensure the safety and security of expensive books, valuable, painstakingly created notes and resources. The chances of stealing or misplacing books or materials becomes nil in case lockers are allotted to students in school and students feel confident about the safety of their possessions. Chances of conflict, which may have arisen in case of lost or stolen material, also become zero making the institute a safe and amiable place exuding positive energy.

A secure locker built by the top manufacturer in Pakistan will give students the peace of mind that their belongings and resources are in a safe place which only they have access to.

MEK Pakistan is one of the top manufacturers of student and employee lockers in Pakistan whose customer clientele includes top educational institutes dedicated to providing the very best to their pupils and ease their burden in every way. With a wide variety of lockers in many sizes and shapes to suit customer needs, MEK Pakistan believes is empowering the youth of today and sharing their burden to create a better tomorrow.
