THE PROBLEM
“Prior to installing Fireco door retainers, managing fire doors during busy periods was challenging,” explains Qasim Hussain, Office Manager at Luton Central Mosque. Fire doors needed to remain closed for fire safety, but this restricted the flow of people, caused congestion, and made access difficult – particularly during peak prayer times and large gatherings. Propping doors open was not a safe or compliant option.”
The issues affected worshippers, staff, volunteers, and visitors, especially the elderly, families with children, and those with mobility needs. It also created operational challenges for staff managing crowd flow during busy periods.
the solution
“Fireco offered a compliant, reliable, and well-designed solution that allowed fire doors to remain open safely while automatically closing when the fire alarm is activated,” continues Qasim. “Their products have a strong reputation and are particularly well suited to busy public and community buildings.”
“Installing the DorMags has made a noticeable difference to the operation of the mosque. It has improved accessibility, reduced congestion during peak times, and provided reassurance that fire safety is never compromised. The DorMag Pro system has proven to be an ideal solution for a busy community building like ours.”
DorMag Pro is a wireless electromagnetic fire door retainer that legally holds doors open and automatically releases them when the fire alarm activates.
Using reliable radio activation, it performs effectively even in noisy environments and is ideal for high-risk areas such as corridors, stairwells, and kitchens.
Connected directly to the fire panel via ProHub, the system enables centralised monitoring of all door units and supports optional Site Manager software for real-time insights across multiple sites — delivering a dependable, compliant solution for busy buildings.
