DESCRIPTION The Dorgard is a safe and legal solution that allows you to hold your fire doors open for improved ventilation, wheelchair access, and general convenience. In the event of a fire, the device will automatically release to close fire doors, responding to the sound of a fire alarm. This fire door retainer by Fireco uses an easy foot-operated setting and release system, which unlike magnetic fire door retainers, can hold the door open in any selected position.

When a fire alarm sounds for 14 continuous seconds, the device's integral audio-electronic device signals the plunger to retract, allowing the fire door close normally. Each unit is battery powered, so there is no need for complex and expensive wiring into the building's fire alarm system. This means that the Dorgard can be installed and operated alongside any existing fire alarm system currently in place.
