Dorgard has a rubber plunger/stopper which remains in contact with the floor and unlike magnetic fire door retainers, can hold the door open in any selected position. When a fire alarm sounds the integral audio-electronic device inside the Dorgard signals the plunger to retract allowing the fire door close normally (Dorgard will release after appoximately 14 seconds). Dorgard is battery operated, so there is no need for complex and expensive wiring. Please note that your alarm's sound level has to be higher than 65dB at the location of the door to allow the Dorgard to pick the alarm up. This is also the required alarm sound level for populated areas according to BS5839-1:2002 (Clause 16.2).
