The board shall determine and specify in its rules the materials and the manner of construction and erection of such doors, the sills thereof, and the automatic or self-closing device requirements of such doors. Electric contacts or interlocks of a type approved by the board may be accepted in lieu of self-closing devices on fire doors at each entrance to elevator or dumbwaiter hoistways.
