Intertek Perfect Raceway Class

Through Intertek’s ‘Perfect Raceway’ Program you can be trained and certified to properly install a raceway in a fire door without voiding the fire resistance rating.

Today, installers are tasked with retrofitting existing fire doors with enhanced features such as access controls and electrified hardware. Whatever the installation approach, with few exceptions, field modifications made to a factory original door or frame may void the fire rating. This is a great deal of liability for anyone to carry.

The Intertek Perfect Raceway program will allow technicians who successfully complete the training class, to drill fire rated doors in the field to be retrofitted with electrified locking hardware. The field technicians will be able to apply a Warnock Hersey label that is specific to this program. When an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) sees this label on the door, they will know that the door has been modified by a Certified Installer who has completed Intertek training. The Perfect Raceway Program meets the guidelines of NFPA 80’s ‘label service program’ requirements.
