Dorgard: Your solution for a cool office without breaching any Fire Regulations

Having the door wedged open enhances air circulation. As the weather is getting warmer, this is a temptation that a lot of office workers can not resist. However, wedging fire doors open is illegal and dangerous. This action could also expose employers to the risk of personal prosecution.

Dorgard is a safe and a legal solution that allows you to hold your fire doors open safely and which automatically shuts them in the event of a fire. This allows for better ventilation, wheelchair access and all-round convenience without jeopardising safety or breaking the law.

Dorgard has been installed in schools, nursing homes, theatres, hospitals and stately homes.

Unit price: £109.00 (£92.77 ex VAT)

How does it work? The unit's rubber plunger/stopper is in contact with the floor and unlike magnetic retainers, can hold the door open in any selected position. When a fire alarm sounds Dorgard's integral audio-electronic device signals the plunger to retract and releases the door to close.

Dorgard is battery operated, so there is no need for complex and expensive wiring. Please note that your alarm's sound level has to be higher than 65dB at the location of the door. This is also the required alarm sound level for populated areas according to BS5839-1:2002 (clause 16.2).

Dorgard X is specifically designed to be installed in noisy environments, e.g. bars, stadiums, clubs and other public areas. Dorgard X consists of two parts - Dorgard Transmitter and Dorgard Receiver.

Unit price: Dorgard X Transmitter £169.00 (£143.83 ex VAT)
Dorgard X Receiver £169.00 (£143.83 ex VAT)

All prices correct at the time of publication.
