Commercial fire door operators help businesses automate counter fire doors while supporting dependable fire protection and efficient use of limited space. Cornell's AlarmGard® Conceal Operator uses a compact, corner-of-headplate mounting design that can maximize usable space by 34% and require more than 50% less backroom than traditional configurations.

For pharmacies, service counters, retail environments, and other commercial spaces, commercial fire door operators can provide electrically activated operation without introducing a bulky exposed motor into the finished area.

01

Commercial Fire Door Operators Designed for Tight Spaces

Compact engineering where clearance matters.

Commercial fire door operators can be particularly valuable when available headroom or backroom is limited.

  • Concealed positioning: The operator and controller mount beneath the hood.
  • Corner mounting: The design helps preserve usable space around the opening.
  • UL 325 listed: Provides listed operator construction for applicable counter fire door systems.
  • Electrical activation: Connects directly with the building's fire alarm system.
  • Floor-level limits: Electronic limits can be set without working above the opening.
  • Automatic reset: The system can return to normal operation after an alarm clears.

Commercial fire door operators can help maintain a cleaner appearance around customer-facing counters.

  • Selectable auto-open: Available configurations can automatically open after an alarm clears.
  • Alarm connection: Electrical connection points tie the operator into the fire alarm.
  • Soffit switches: Controls provide access for alarm mode and battery disconnect.

Match the operator to the opening.

Commercial fire door operators using AlarmGard Conceal are intended for counter fire door openings beginning at 2 feet 8 inches wide and up to 120 square feet. The operator has a 120 VAC/60 Hz single-phase electrical requirement and is rated for up to 20 cycles per hour.

Commercial fire door operators can be considered for pharmacies, service counters, retail environments, and other facilities where a fire-rated counter opening must combine protection with an unobtrusive operator.

A Cleaner Approach to Commercial Fire Protection

Keep essential hardware out of sight.

Commercial fire door operators can influence both the function and appearance of a finished space. AlarmGard Conceal places the operator beneath the headplate, avoiding the visual bulk associated with larger exposed motor assemblies.

Cornell manufactures AlarmGard® Conceal, and Affina Door Company can help commercial property owners, contractors, architects, and facility managers evaluate the operator alongside the selected counter fire door.
