The BM3SE Fire Door Closer with Electromagnetic Convenience

Electromagnetic door closers provide advanced functionality, making daily door usage smoother and more convenient, ultimately improving ease of access throughout a facility. This added user friendliness helps reduce the risk of fire doors being misused. Below, we explore the hold open and swing free functions offered by the two different models of this ARROW fire door closer.

ARROW BM3SE-HO with Electromagnetic Hold Open

The hold open version of the ARROW BM3SE is well suited to facilities that require flexible traffic flow. When connected to the building’s fire detection system, fire doors can be safely held open at angles beyond 80 degrees, allowing barrier free movement throughout busy environments. 

As it is connected to the fire alarm the door will automatically close when the fire alarm is activated. This prevents the spread of smoke and flames, thus maintaining safety protocols without sacrificing convenience.

ARROW BM3SE-SF with Electromagnetic Swing Free

On the other hand, the swing free model allows doors to operate as if no closer is fitted making it ideal for bedroom doors in care homes. Similar to the hold open version, the swing free closer is linked to the fire alarm system, ensuring that doors will automatically close in the event of an emergency.
