Dorgard™ Fire Door Retainers
Dorgard™ fire door retainers provide a practical solution for holding fire doors open legally and safely. These wireless devices allow fire doors to remain open for ventilation and convenience, but automatically release and let the door close when a fire alarm is activated. They are simple to install without wiring and are ideal for workplaces, schools, care homes and public buildings.
Using Dorgard™ retainers improves accessibility while ensuring compliance with UK fire safety legislation. By preventing doors from being propped open unsafely, they protect escape routes and help contain smoke and fire in an emergency. Available in different finishes, they blend with existing interiors while delivering essential fire safety protection.
