This was a great video. If you've ever spent much time on a ship especially down lower in them, fire doors are very similar to watertight separations often times they may be both a fire separation and water compartmentalization. They can be almost thought as a similar component other than their rating. As both have a very similar purpose of containing and separating. Just thought that is a easy thing they can be compared to and could maybe demonstrate their purpose with something that is obvious to understand why it's so important and is a similar concept that operate in a very similar way.
I've seen lots fire doors propped open with wooden wedges (even one on a stairway door with a small chunk of concrete) in various buildings in the Akron area. I always question the IQ of the building owners when it comes to this. Hell, I've even found door frames with nonexistent fire doors (even one in a suburban hospital!), which is definitely a violation right there. I think they need to have signs on every fire door that is not held open with a magnet similar to the ones in the UK. I even found one at my aunt and uncle's Catholic church that clearly had a "fire door: keep closed all times" sign and it was held open with a wedge. I would label that as a WTF moment.
Fire mist which it is sprinkler but suppression but thanks to Johnson controls etc btw. Are life savers and reduces fire and such. So we want to talk about fire door sliders and closers which might be magnetic and such.
Awesome video! Also I don't know if you are taking video requests but can you make another fire extinguisher collection video? I am just a huge fire extinguisher enthusiast!
Once I removed a doorstop and installed the door back onto its magnet, someone actually came to stop me and said the magnet is only for in case of fire 😒
