Electromagnetic Door Holders
Magnetic Door Holders - Electromagnetic Hold Open
Electromagnetic door holders allow a fire door to be held open electromagnetically rather than mechanically. In the event of a fire or power failure, the magnet is automatically released. The door closer will then securely close the fire door into the frame. They provide a quick and easy-to-install retrofit option compared to a combined electromagnetic door closer.
Convenient Electromagnetic Hold Open
Magnetic and acoustic door holders allow unrestricted traffic flow throughout your facility. These devices conveniently and safely hold open fire rated doors in a range of premises. Whether it's a busy hospital corridor or college hallway, magnetic door holders create a friction-free environment without compromising safety or function.
Our range of wireless and hard-wired door holders offers a perfect solution for optimising accessibility, safety, and convenience. With options for white, black, or silver finishes, there is a model to match your existing door hardware.
Magnetic Door Retainers for Reliable Fire Protection
Safety is of the utmost importance for building managers, owners, and landlords. In the event of a fire or power failure, these intelligent fire door magnetic holders spring into action. Once triggered, the magnetic force is released, allowing the door closer to securely close the fire door. In combination, they effectively contain and limit the spread of fire throughout your building.
With a hold open door magnet in place, you can have peace of mind, knowing that your property, occupants, and exit routes are safeguarded. Your fire compartmentation is one step closer when installing a door holder alongside a CE marked controlled fire door closer.
Flexible Door Retainer Mounting Options
These magnetic door holders can be adapted to various door types, ensuring ease of integration into your existing setup. There are wall-mounted and floor-mounted options, plus models with a chain, allowing for an indirect connection between the magnet and the armature plate when a direct connection is not possible.
Door retainers can be installed with overhead door closers or with concealed floor springs. It is recommended that the door holder be fitted on the same horizontal plane as the closer. This is to avoid twisting forces on the door leaf.
Door holders will hold a door open until they are manually or automatically released. They are available in different voltages, 24V DC or 240V DC, with many models having a holding force of 200N. Make sure to check your door weight and any existing door closer to ensure you're selecting a suitable door holder.
Easy Integration with Fire Alarm Systems
This collection of electromagnetic door holders is designed to interface with your fire alarm system. This is crucial for the proper operation of the electromagnetic door holder. It enables the unit to receive signals from the fire alarm and respond swiftly when needed.
By linking the door holder to your fire alarm system, you create a connection that cuts power upon activation of the fire alarm. This promptly releases the door to fulfil its fire and smoke containment role effectively.
Some units are triggered acoustically, like the Dorgard, Dorgard SmartSound, and Agrippa acoustic digital door holder. They are wireless options that provide the same door retention and automatic door release functionality.
