DorMag SmartSound: Advanced Magnetic Fire Door Holder

How Does a Fire Door Hold Open Device Enhance Safety?

A fire door retainer enables fire doors to be held open for easy passage in high traffic areas, releasing them to close in the event of fire alarm activation. They are traditionally hardwired into the fire alarm system which deactivates them automatically during an emergency. 

The DorMag SmartSound wireless fire door magnet releases the door when its acoustic sensors detect a fire alarm, eliminating the need for wiring into the alarm system and making installation simpler and less obtrusive.

The Importance of Fire Doors 

Fire doors act as essential barriers, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. Equipped with a fire door magnetic hold open device, they provide convenient access for high traffic areas while maintaining the building’s fire protection strategy. 

The effectiveness of a fire door is further enhanced by compliant ironmongery and intumescent solutions. Explore our range of fire door solutions
