Review: Perfect Replacement. - Exact "like for like" replacement fire door retainer and works perfectly, especially during Fire Alarm drills.
Review: Dorgard should supply a new floot plate - We bought this 5 months ago to replace a similar model that had lasted several years. As no new floor plate was supplied we left the old one in place. The Dorgard Fire Door Retainer does not reliably attach to the closure plate and will emit a beeping sound even with new batteries fitted.

## Features

- LEGAL FIRE DOOR SOLUTION – The Dorgard allows you to legally keep open a fire door. On ‘hearing’ the fire alarm, the plunger will release allowing the door to close maintaining the fire integrity of the door. For added safety the Dorgard will automatically release when low battery is detected.
- INSTALL IN 5 MINUTES – Simple to fix to your fire door, with only basic tools required, batteries and fitting instructions are included with each Dorgard. No need to pay for a costly engineer to come to install these to the doors in your building.
- WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY – Fully wireless installation and operation - no cabling required for power or to connect to the fire alarm. The Dorgard acoustically ‘hears’ the fire alarm and will release the plunger closing the door with no complicated wiring required.
- IMPROVED HYGIENE – Door handles are a common touch point in most businesses spreading germs every time the door is opened. Eliminate this with the Dorgard, once the door has been open and the plunger depressed there is no need to touch the handle and people can move freely throughout the building.
- ACCESSIBILITY FRIENDLY – Allows easy access from room to room for people with mobility issues or requiring mobility aids. No need to struggle to open doors or have them close on you before you have had chance to get through.
- MANUFACTURED IN THE UK – CE and UKCA marked. With a 5 year warranty, should you experience any difficulties within the warranty period, we will replace your unit with a new Dorgard!
