McKEON AC8800 for HealthPartners Specialty Care Center in Woodbury

We collaborated with BWBR Architects (St. Paul) and Kraus-Anderson Construction on the installation of the McKeon Model AC8800-CP (compressed pocket) accordion fire door system for HealthPartners Specialty Care Center in Woodbury, MN.

With its advanced fire and smoke-rating and computer control technology, the AC8800CP keeps people safe during fire emergencies.

Why the AC8800CP is a Game-Changer:


  • The AC8800CP has up to a 3-hour fire rating (UL 10B) with "S" label.
  • Accordion Magic: Thanks to its folding design, this system retracts neatly out of sight when not needed, keeping the bright, open layout you love. This almost 28' door stacks into a pocket under 4' deep!
  • Big and Bold: Got a wide space? No problem! It covers large openings (80 foot plus!) without pesky vertical posts.
  • Hands-Free Deployment: Hook it up to your building’s fire alarm system and watch it spring into action automatically during an emergency.
  • Style Points: Some doors are used only during alarm situations. Some doors are seen and used everyday for traffic control or security applications. For doors used everyday, a wide variety of powder coat color options are available.
  • ADA Compliant: It’s designed to be accessible so everyone can move smoothly and safely through the opening when needed.
