Some horizontal fire shutters have man doors built in.

I have seen setups like that where a secondary door is provided so that the fire department can run a hose out of the stairwell without messing with the won door.

Date: Fri, Oct 14, 2011 8:22 pm Knowing this is a bit out of topic I still would like to ask the question. Has anyone dealt with automatic WON fire doors at egress stairwells where the fire department would expect to come out of the stairwell with hoses attached to the standpipe system in the stairwell? If so would you provide some particulars regarding the setup? Basically think of a typical stairwell without any wall at the floor landing but where there is an automatic horizontal fire door that would be trying to close on whatever hose comes out of the stairwell. Furthermore the Won door height would be almost to the ceiling since someone is trying for an open look. (I guess they want to see the beautiful standpipe system there is not room enough to conceal.) With the tall door there would not be much of a smoke stop if that is what happens at a normal stairwell. My initial take is that this is a bad idea, but perhaps there is an established way to do this.
