Holiday Safety Reminder: Protect Your Fire-Resistant Doors

As the festive season approaches, many of us are eager to brighten our homes with Christmas decorations. While we love seeing the community sparkle with holiday cheer, we’d like to remind all residents of an important safety measure regarding your front doors.

🚪 Why It Matters

Your front door is more than just an entryway—it’s a fire-resistant barrier designed to protect you, your family, and your neighbors in the event of a fire. When nails, screws, or hooks are banged into the door, its fire resistance can be compromised. Even small punctures weaken the protective seal, reducing the door’s ability to hold back smoke and flames.

🎁 Safe Decorating Tips

To keep your home festive and safe:

• Avoid nails, screws, or adhesives on the door surface.

• Use over-the-door brackets or hangers—these slip easily over the top of the door without causing damage.

• Choose lightweight decorations that won’t strain the bracket or obstruct the door’s closing mechanism.

• Keep doorways clear so decorations don’t interfere with safe exit routes.

🌟 A Community Effort

By following these simple steps, we can all enjoy a beautifully decorated building while ensuring that vital fire safety standards remain intact. Let’s celebrate responsibly and keep our homes safe this holiday season.
