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.
