A Reliable Fire Door Solution for High-Footfall Spaces
Product provided
DorMag Pro
"Our experience has been very positive. The Fireco products work exactly as intended: they keep doors open to improve access and movement, and they close immediately when the fire alarm is triggered. This has significantly improved safety, accessibility, and the overall flow of people within the building. "

Office Manager at Luton Central Mosque, Bedfordshire

THE PROBLEM

Managing fire doors during busy periods was challenging

“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.

Integrating DorMag Pro for Safe, Automatic Fire Door Control

“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.”
