DorGard Fire Door Retainers

A closed fire door is an effective barrier against fire, protecting property and people's lives. Wedging open fire doors is illegal and dangerous, putting organisations at risk of prosecution.

Dorgard is a simple, reliable device that holds a fire door open in any position and then automatically releases the door should afire alarm sound.

Inexpensive and quick and easy to install, Dorgard simply screw fits to the bottom of the chosen door in a matter of minutes with no risk to the fire door's integrity.

The unit's rubber plunger/stopper is in contact with the floor and, unlike magnetic retainers, can hold the door open in any selected position. When a fire alarm sounds, Dorgard's integral audio-electronic device signals the plunger stopper to retract and releases the door to close. Dorgard is battery operated so there is no need for complex and expensive wiring.
