Hunter Buildings | The Inside - June 2009
Knockin’ on the Door: Hunter Building Brings Blast Door Manufacturing In-House To meet its own internal exacting standards and delivery capabilities, Hunter Buildings has brought the design and manufacturing of blast doors in-house. The 36” x 80”Hunter door has been subjected to the same blast test as our buildings, to ensure it would not fail in the field—and it did not. A Hunter blast door is engineered to withstand a major explosion or blast without serious deformities, and can remain fully operable even after a blast. Extensive testing also reveals that a Hunter door can withstand a peak pressure of 17.9 psi, and exhibited leakage well below current industry safe haven standards.
