Yes, apartment doors can be installed with features that improve fire safety, including automatic door closure mechanisms. These mechanisms are commonly known as "self-closing" or "fire-rated" doors. They are designed to close automatically in the event of a fire, preventing the spread of smoke and flames between different parts of the building. These doors are typically constructed with fire-resistant materials and equipped with fire-rated hardware to meet specific fire safety standards. They play a crucial role in compartmentalizing the fire, allowing occupants to escape safely and providing additional time for fire suppression efforts.
