Fire Door Holders

Rather than wedging your fire doors open, or even worse, using a fire extinguisher, install a fire door holder as a legal, safe and easy alternative. 

Commonly found in schools, care homes, hospitals, and many other public buildings, fire door holders enable you to keep a door open for ease of access and ventilation but will ensure the fire door is shut in the event of an actual fire to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.

Usually activated by the sound of your fire alarm, unless it’s hardwired to the alarm itself, the holder will release the door to enable it to close when fitted with a door closer. In fact, we also have electromagnetic door closers which double-up as door holders, requiring the installation of just one device to do two different jobs.

With a wide range of choices available, you can find the right device to suit your environment, needs and budget.

How do you keep a heavy fire door open?

Heavy fire doors can be held open safely with a fire door opener - also known as a fire door retainer. A fire door holder holds the door open in position against the pressure of the door closer.

What is a fire door holder?

A fire door holder is a device that can be fitted to a fire door which enables it to be held open, but still shuts in the event of a fire. The shutting of the door is usually triggered by the sounding of a fire alarm.

How do fire door holders work?

Most fire door holders are acoustic - they work by holding the door open until a fire alarm is raised. The sound of the alarm will trigger the release of the fire door holder, causing it to release the door and close to help retain the fire. Some fire door holders are also hard-wired to the alarm, so can work whenever the alarm is triggered and not necessarily by the actual sound of the alarm.
