Dorgard: the legal way to hold open fire doors
By Sarah Todd
Wireless safety product Dorgards, manufactured by FireCo, have now been installed in more than 300,000 leisure facilities and care homes throughout the UK.
Fully complying with all relevant British Standards and EU directives, Dorgards safely and legally hold open a fire door in any position – but automatically release upon the sound of a fire alarm. Battery operated and self-contained, they are affixed to a fire door with four screws and take minutes to fit.
