Dorgard with FREE SHIPPING and free extended 5 Year Warranty from Safelincs.
The Dorgard is a safe and legal solution that allows you to hold your fire doors open safely, while automatically closing them in the event of a fire. This allows for better wheelchair access, ventilation and all-round convenience without jeopardising safety or breaking the law.
Improves access for wheelchair users in line with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
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 approximately 14 seconds). Dorgard is battery powered, so there is no need for complex and expensive wiring into the building's fire alarm system. This means that the Dorgard can be installed and operated alongside any existing fire alarm system currently in place. Please note that your alarm's sound level has to be higher than 65dB at the location of the door to ensure that the Dorgard is able to pick the alarm up. This is also the required alarm sound level for populated areas according to BS 5839-1.
The Dorgard floorplate is designed for use with an installed Dorgard and is fitted to the floor using 4 screws.
Fire doors weighing more than 120Kg, which have a closing force in excess of 120nm (that is a force of about 15kg, 800mm from the hinge) must have the floorplate installed in combination with the Dorgard unit. Dorgard can hold a fire door open safely without the floor plate installation if the fire doors weight and closing force are less than that above.
Installing a Dorgard floorplate is recommended when:
Your fire door has a powerful overhead door closer and the fire door tends to creep closed even with a Dorgard fitted.
The floor is slippery or has a very smooth surface and the fire door tends to creep closed even with a Dorgard fitted.
Q. Can schools and other public sector bodies set up an account?
A.
Yes, all public sector bodies are welcome to set up an account with us. On receipt of an official purchase order a 30 day account will automatically be set up for you. Purchase orders can be sent via e-mail: service@safelincs.co.uk. Once the purchase order has been received the goods will be dispatched to you and an invoice sent payable within 30 days.
Q. How do you know that Dorgard has detected smoke or a fire?
A.
The Dorgard does not detect smoke or the fire. It works by being able to react to the fire alarm that goes off on detection of a fire. The unit will lift the plunger on the sound of the alarm, a warning tone is emitted when the door is closing.
Q. What are the fail safe features of the Dorgard?
A.
The Dorgard has several safety features built in. The unit will detect when the battery voltage is dropping. It will then emit a warning sound and release the plunger. The device will not allow the plunger to hold the door open until the batteries have been replaced. Dorgard will also not allow the plunger to be used should the batteries be removed from the unit.
Q. Can Dorgard be used on a double door application where the doors need to close in a sequence?
A.
Dorgard can be used on double door applications. The Dorgard does not control the speed of the door closing, it is the door closer that does this. To ensure that the doors close in the correct sequence the speed of the door closer on each door would need adjusting. Ensure that the leaf that needs to close first is set to close at a faster speed than the other.
Q. The Dorgard is sold with a 5 year guarantee, but there is no reference to this in the literature with the product.
A.
Safelincs is the only Dorgard retailer who offers a 5 year warranty on the Dorgard. This warranty is not described in the generic manual etc of the product, which refers only to the standard manufacturer warranty of two years. Safelincs covers the additional warranty of the Dorgard.
