The opening direction of fire doors
What are the regulations regarding the opening direction of fire doors? Take a moment to look up at the door of your own home or office—whether it swings inward or pushes outward. Generally, installation follows whichever option is most convenient and aesthetically pleasing based on practical needs.
However, fire doors are different—whether they're steel fire doors or wooden fire doors, and regardless of whether you need to install Class A, Class B, or Class C fire doors, their required opening direction is always the same: the direction in which people should escape and evacuate.
This is because, when a fire breaks out, people naturally rush out of the building. If fire doors were installed in the opposite direction, it would inevitably hinder the evacuation process. Therefore, China mandates that the opening direction of fire doors must align with the direction in which people should escape during an emergency.
