Ductile Cast iron, hot-dipped galvanized endlocks/windlocks are riveted to the ends of the slats with 1/4” rivets. Option in brass material which prevents sparking. Furnish windlocks based on wind load specifications.
BOTTOM BAR
Two galvanized roll-formed steel or structural steel angles which are designed to reinforce the bottom of the curtain. Equipped with rubber astragal or a sensing edge which extends into the guides. Galvanized steel as per ASTM-A653/A653-M
Option: Exo-Shield™ Powder coating to match curtain.
BRACKETS
ExoShield™ powder coated grey carbon steel plate not less than 1/4” thick with ball bearings at rotating support points on drive bracket. When bolted to the wall, the mounting angle that supports the barrel/pipe assembly and forms an end enclosure. OPTION: Stop lock bearing which prevents the door from free falling in the event of a drive operation failure.
GUIDES
Alpine’s Guide system is designed using structural steel angles with a minimum thickness of 3/16” meeting the ASTM A36 Standard that are bolted together with ⅜” fasteners in 1-¼ ” slotted connections bolted at a minimum 24” on center. One inch spacing of the guide channel ensures smooth operation. Vinyl clip on guide weather seal is standard.
SPRING COUNTERBALANCE
Pipe shall be manufactured with a diameter and wall thickness to restrict maximum deflection to 0.03” per foot of door width. Springs are helical torsion type which are designed to include an overload factor of 25% for optimum ease of operation., The springs are grease packed and mounted on a cold rolled steel inner shaft. Spring tension is adjustable from the outside of the end bracket. Sealed ball bearings as described above are designed to prevent wear on the shaft at each end of the pipe/barrel. Life Cycle: 20,000 up to 400,000
HOOD Hexagon (Option: Square or Round)
Made from #22-gauge galvanized steel as standard and formed to fit the contour of the end brackets. Optional material in stainless steel or aluminum. Equipped with a neoprene air baffle. Finish Options: #4 stainless steel or powder coated to match curtain.
LOCKING
Option 1: Slide bolt locks on the bottom bar.
Option 2: Cylinder locks. (Electric interlocks are recommended for motorized doors to prevent damage.)
Option 3: Motor acts as lock.
HOT DIPPED GALVANIZING (OPTION)
Applied to the guides, brackets and gears in addition to Standard Specifications. Applied where conditions of extreme or unusual atmospheric contamination is present. As per ASTM-A123.
(Pipe Shafts available with Zinc Enriched Powder Coating or Stainless-Steel)
FASCIA (OPTIONAL)
Useful where the area behind the hood is open, as seen in a between jambs type mounting configuration or other condition that exposes the opposite of coil side. Especially applicable with pre-engineered buildings. Finish is to match curtain.

SAFETY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
Option: Electric Monitored Sensing edge with a coil cord.
Option: Redi-Reverse™ Light Curtain consists of a 6’0” high light curtain integral to the guides, left and right. If an object passes through the light curtain during the close cycle, the door will reverse to the open cycle and come to rest upon reaching the open limit.
Option: Photo safety sensors mounted to the guides 6” above the finished floor that project an infrared beam across the width of the door. Breaking the beam while the door is in motion will result in the immediate stop of downward travel and reverse the door to reopen to the top limit.
Access Controls
Optional control stations are available as Push Button Control Station or Key Control Stations. Special Control Stations are also available, please consult factory.

Alpine® Redi-Release®
For Use with Fire-Tite®, Fire-Shut® and Fire-Storm® Doors
The Solid State Securities time delay fire door release device is an optional feature for your fire resistant doors. Alpine® Redi-Release® is normally energized as a fail-safe device for fire doors, and incorporates state of the art electronic security control circuitry.
The Redi-Release series release devices are the ideal safety option for fire resistant doors. These devices are able to respond to emergency conditions generated by manual or automatic initiating devices that are normally closed, and are designed to be used in conjunction with a temperature fuse link system. The Test-Release device features include time delay on alarm and power loss, motor voltage sensing, form C output, proximity/door edge input and trouble diagnostic capabilities. Check model label to be installed to verify applicable features.
CAUTION: As with all releasing device systems, maximum fire protection is provided when installed in accordance with factory specifications and used with fuse link systems. Fail-safe operation can only be provided when input power is applied.
LiftMaster Professional
For Motorized Doors – Electro-Mechanical Operators
The AFCB fire door release device is designed to be used in conjunction with a standard commercial door operator to provide a fully automated door closing system. For use with motorized doors incorporating a reversing electric safety edge. This 120VAC device can power up to four smoke detectors and two horn/strobes or speaker/strobes. This system combines state-of-the-art functionality and advanced features typically found on special-order fire door operators.
LM21AFCB Owners Manuals
- UL864 Revision 9 compliant
- Programmable DIP switch delay setting – either 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds delay of door release to permit passage clearance
- Internal battery backup system
- Motor voltage sensing monitors voltage to the operator and activates a mechanical door release upon loss of power to the operator.
- Obstruction cycling – works in conjunction with the door’s electrical safety edge, reversing the door if an obstruction is encountered
- Test keyswitch – permits floor-level testing of the system
Non-Motorized Doors
The XP fire door release device provides a fail-safe release mechanism for non-motorized doors and acts as an interface between the door and the fire alarm system. The device required 24VDC power from an approved UL1481 regulated power supply with battery backup, such as a fire alarm control panel. Therefore, installation will require coordination with a fire panel installer.
LM21XP Owners Manuals
- UL864 Revision 9 compliant
- Programmable DIP switch delay setting – either 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds delay of door release to permit passageway clearance
- Close door detection – prevents door release if the door is kept in the closed position and eliminates door reset service calls or potential system damage
- On board diagnostic – LEDs for early troubleshooting
- Testing function – allows routine fire door testing without requiring activation of the central alarm system; easy reset function returns the device to a standby state
Non-Motorized Doors with Battery Backup Option
Versatility allows the XPBB fire door release device to operate on 120VAC, 24VAC or 24VDC power sources. Internal battery backup allows the release device to stand alone from the fire alarm system and act independently in the event of a power outage. The system can provide 24VDC power for up to four smoke detectors and two horn/strobes, mounted on either side of the door. Programmable delay settings, close door detection, diagnostic LEDs, localized testing, and reset capabilities are also standard.
LM21XPBB Owners Manuals
- UL864 Revision 9 compliant
- Programmable DIP switch delay setting – either 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds delay of door release to permit passageway clearance
- Inputs for normally open – 2-wire or 4-wire detectors and 4-wire normally closed detectors
- On board diagnostic – LEDs for early troubleshooting
- Trouble and alarm relays – for communication with the fire alarm control panel, if required
- Audible trouble sounder – to indicate when the release device is not operational
