There are several reasons why we may need them, chief among which are:
preventing unwanted gain access to (conscious as constantly of emergency evacuations).
avoiding or slowing down the passage of fire and/or smoke.
safety-- a design that gets rid of the possibility of fingers getting caught in the door.

PAS 24.
This is your warranty that the door is being kept track of by a UKAS certified certification body to make sure compliance with PAS 24:201.
