Fire Door Retainers
Standard Magnetic Door Retainers
Standard Magnetic Door Retainers
The most widely used door retaining device, these
units are either floor or wall mounted and are
wired into the fire alarm so they release upon
a fire alarm activation.
Overhead Door Retainers
Where it may be awkward
to site a floor or wall mounted retainer, an overhead
unit can be fitted to the top of the door frame,
and again this will be wired into the fire alarm
to release on activation. These units offer the
advantage of allowing the door to be left open
at any angle, so they are perfect for care home
room doors.
Salamander Wire Free Retainers
A
wire free solution, a main panel is sited near
the fire alarm panel, and then up to 90 wire free
door retainers can be fitted to doors up to
a maximum of 100 metres away. This can be further
boosted using a small extender panel. This system
is the ideal solution when a radio fire alarm system
is being installed, resulting in a completely wire
free installation.
Dorgard
This is a battery operated wire free device
which operates on the audibility of a local fire
alarm sounder.
