Project description
Just days after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a security breach was reported at Burbank/Glendale/Pasadena Airport in Burbank, California. Won-Door FireGuard™ doors, which had been installed in nine locations throughout the airport, immediately assumed the closed and locked position restricting movement within the terminal. A search was conducted and the occupants were safely evacuated.
