Blast Resistant Doors & Frames for Industrial Projects
Blast resistant doors and frames are heavily used in the petrochemical industry where buildings are within the radius of an accidental blast. We have worked with industry leaders in independent testing, including BakerRisk, ABS consulting, and Virginia Tech University to develop blast resistant door assemblies that protect end-users in the event of an accident. Where required, AMBICO supplies and installs specialty-multipoint lever x lever or exit device x lever locks, to ensure performance when required in the unseated direction.
