When Kewanee Corp. was looking for a way to produce its metal doors more quickly, the company turned to Amtak Fasteners (East Providence, RI) for results. The installation of a metal fire-rating label to the side of each metal fire door was creating a bottleneck in the production process, and using Amtak Fastener’s punch-pins has been an effective solution.
"Each fire door requires a mechanically affixed metal label stating the fire rating," says Jason Lisewski, engineering manager. "The labels come from Factory Mutual or Underwriters Laboratory, and we also attach hurricane-rating labels from Dade County, FL," he says.
