THE PROBLEM

Pupils having difficulties with heavy fire doors

In a school environment, fire doors are constantly opening and shutting, but “the children were finding it difficult to use them because of their weight,” explains Sharon Morgan, Premises Manager of Eastbrook school. “Just getting to the toilet could be an issue.”

“A parent knew about Fireco and put us in the right direction. We were very pleased that he did.”

the solution

DorMag Pro door retainers were installed

After listening to the school about their issue, Fireco suggested that they try installing our new DorMag Pro door retainers

Quick and easy to install, DorMag Pro is a high-compliance door magnet that keeps heavy fire doors open until the alarm sounds. Smart and compactly designed, it can be fitted away from floor level, reducing the likelihood of impact.

The school has been very pleased with the results. Sharon says, “After having the DorMags fitted, it became much easier for the children to enter and exit the classrooms. They’re easily the best additions we’ve ever put in.”

DorMag Pro is a compact, wireless fire door magnet that holds open fire doors legally, allowing them to automatically disengage when an alarm is activated.

DorMag Pro is radio-activated, which makes it ideal for noisy environments. The separate controller, ProHub, can be wired directly into any fire alarm system and allows you to monitor all door units from a central hub.
