Three-Sided Frame

Krieger's tornado and hurricane doors come with a three-sided frame, unlike others that may require a four-sided frame to provide the same protection. This allows the door to be installed in almost any location.

Configuration

Tornado and hurricane doors are available in flush design or as single or pairs of hinged doors. All assemblies are available manual or power operated.

ADA Compliant

Krieger's tornado and hurricane doors meet the ADA threshold requirements of ½ inch without portable ramps, allowing them to be used in any location.

Hurricane Door Hardware

Krieger single door assemblies utilize standard weight ball bearing hinges with single point cylindrical or mortise locksets, or rim exit devices (functions to be determined per building requirement).

Krieger double door assemblies utilize standard weight ball bearing hinges with single point cylindrical or mortise locksets, or rim, surface or concealed exit devices (functions to be determined per building requirement) on the active leaf and surface bolts, surface or concealed vertical rod exit devices on the inactive.

The hardware selection will provide a secure door that is easily accessed and complies with NFPA 101-Life Safety Code, and yet closes on its own to provide real security within the shelter.

Tornado Door Hardware

Krieger self-latching multi-point lock sets provide a secure door that is easily accessed and complies with NFPA 101-Life Safety Code, and yet closes on its own to provide real security within the shelter.
