The Dorgard has been designed for complete safety and will "fail safe" in the event of a fault or flat battery. The mechanism which holds the plunger down, to resist the closing force on a door, requires power to remain active. This means that the Dorgard simply will not work if there is no power or a fault in the mechanism, ensuring that the fire door will be closed by default in order to block the spread of fire.

Since the Dorgard is installed at floor level and operated by the user’s foot, a certain amount of knocks are expected. To ensure it can withstand this environment, the Dorgard is designed & built with highly durable components that have been thoroughly tested to ensure longevity. Dorgard is also certified to BS EN 1634 regarding fire resistance and smoke control tests for door assemblies and hardware.

Installing a Dorgard is quick and easy, and requires only 4 standard screws (supplied) for fixing to the fire door. Simply mark up the door using the provided template, fix the Dorgard in place using the provided fixings pack, and insert the battery. After installation the night-time release can be set according to the User Guide. With a few basic tools, almost anyone can install a Dorgard in less than 5 minutes.
