The right choice: a fire-rated card lock system
For a business, safety is not just a precaution but the soundest investment in its future. Telcom brings the fire resistance standards that modern buildings need together with today's technology. These systems keep working during a fire and protect both property and lives. The right choice is to manage risks before they arise.
A fire-rated card lock system built to high standards
International safety protocols demand high standards of durability as well as appearance. Telcom fire-rated lock systems keep their mechanism intact even under extreme heat, so an evacuation can be managed without disruption. Strong hardware and smart software work together.
Fire-rated doors and locks are a requirement in hotels
In tourism, guest safety is a matter of reputation as well as a legal duty. The 30-minute fire resistance required by regulations is achieved with the right combination of door and lock. Telcom fire-rated card locks keep performing during this critical time and work reliably in a panic, buying the most valuable time in a fire.
Why the 30-minute rule matters for fire doors
In a fire, the first 30 minutes are vital for a successful evacuation and for containing the flames. A door that stays intact during this time is the main barrier against the spread of heat and smoke. Telcom strengthens the lock, which could otherwise be the weakest link in this barrier. Door and lock resisting fire as one unit is the result of professional safety engineering.
How a fire-rated card lock helps during an evacuation
A fire-rated door loses its function entirely if its lock gives way to the heat. Telcom locks expand at extreme temperatures, keep the door leaf in place and help seal against smoke. This is a key technical detail for meeting the resistance times set in fire regulations, and Telcom card locks have passed these demanding tests.
The hotel's legal responsibilities
For hotel managers, fire safety carries heavy legal and criminal liability. A shortcoming found in an inspection can lead not only to large fines but to irreparable consequences in an accident. Telcom provides the technical infrastructure and certified products that hotels need to complete these legal processes in full.
The Turkish Regulation on the Fire Protection of Buildings
The Regulation on the Fire Protection of Buildings is the main rulebook for all commercial and public buildings in Türkiye. Telcom shapes its whole range around the rules and technical specifications of this regulation, and supports approval processes and compliant installations in your projects.

Article 48 (Doors), unofficial translation:
“Doors separating fire compartments shall be fire resistant so as to prevent the passage of smoke and flame during a fire, and their fire resistance shall be no less than 30 minutes. The hardware of these doors shall be chosen so as not to reduce the fire resistance of the door.”
