Installed at the base of the fire door, in under five minutes, Dorgard is listening for a continuous fire alarm of 14 seconds or more. When the fire alarm sounds, Dorgard releases, enabling the fire door to close, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. These door holders should be installed with a CE marked door closer that is fitted at a minimum power size of EN 3.As a safety feature, Dorgard has to release to any sound that it hears as being continuous and louder than 65dB as this sound could be obscuring a potential fire alarm.
