Dorgard Fire Door Retainer - Black

Product Information

The Dorgard SmartSound can differentiate between the sound of a fire alarm and filters out common background noises like vacuum cleaners. This is the reason why it is dangerous and illegal to hold fire doors open with a wedge or extinguisher. The Dorgard SmartSound designed by Fireco is an innovative wireless fire door retainer device that allows you to hold open fire doors in a completely legal, quick and simple way. However, a visual and audible indication of low battery status and a series of beeps for possible faults provide peace of mind year round. You can print out our Dorgard pages if you want to have proof of the 5-year warranty in the future, however, proof of purchase from us is enough.

The user-friendly design ensures that you can effortlessly incorporate a wireless door retainer into your fire safety measures without unnecessary complications or delays. By ensuring easy access and preventing the spread of fire and smoke, the Dorgard retainer offers a compliant and effective solution to hold open fire doors. Should the noise level in your premises exceed 80 decibels it is unlikely that you would hear a 65 decibel alarm, therefore the Dorgard releases the fire door to close. The fire door should have a separate controlled door closer fitted prior to the retainer being installed.However, this should be a rare event as the majority of systems have to have emergency backup power supplies which means they should continue to work in the event of power failure. Fire doors are an important part of any building's fire safety strategy as they enable movement throughout a building while stopping the spread of fire to allow occupants enough time to evacuate safely.

Check that the plunger is depressed while standing side on; also check that the battery compartment is closed and that the batteries are working. What's much worse is that wedging open doors allows smoke and fire to travel much more quickly throughout a building. When the fire alarm sounds, Dorgard releases, enabling the fire door to close, preventing the spread of fire and smoke.It is recommended that fire doors are closed at night; therefore Dorgard has an automatic night-time release facility.
