Door Systems Restoration of 1926 Proper Hotel
There were no shortcuts taken when it came to the Fire Life Safety Doors and Smoke Curtains needed to bring this 1926 California Renaissance Revival building up to code. The Historic Hotel located in Los Angeles’s South Park District was beautifully restored by Local Architect Omgivning and the Interior was envision by designer Kelly Wearstler. Door Systems is humbled to be part of such a prestigious project and especially proud of the Proper Fire Doors and Smoke Curtains that where carefully designed with the AOR.
The DSI 600 elevator smoke containment system by Door Systems®
It goes without saying it was very important to protect and preserve the original historical elements of the hotel. The elevator lobby was a challenge that Door Systems eagerly took on. By using one large curtain to protect the bank of elevators, the design team was able to leave the historical walls undisturbed.
The smooth controlled descent of the DSI 600 Elevator Fire Rated Smoke Curtain System works on a gravity fail safe technology that requires no power to close and is fully synchronized with the building’s fire and life safety system.
The DSI 600 Elevator Smoke Containment System by Door Systems®, incorporates a battery back-up feature with an emergency curtain up button located on both sides of the elevator cab. This ensures easy access from either side of the elevator cab in an emergency situation. When the button is depressed the curtain will automatically deploy back down to the closed position until the fire alarm is cleared. Low profile side guides ensure against movement or blowout during extreme pressures caused by fire conditions. The technologically advanced fire resistive fabric is concealed in a compact overhead housing that takes as little as 7 1/2′ of headroom. It is virtually invisible when in the retracted position. Custom sizes available for any elevator size.
