Combine these units with other products from our extensive fire door ironmongery range and revolutionize your fire safety approach today.

In these environments, Dorgard SmartSound knows it would not hear the alarm and will close the doors. The Dorgard has a built in audio-electronic device which will cause the plunger to retract when the fire alarm is activated, thus closing the door and ensuring fire safety is maintained. Please Note: Alarm sound level at the door's location must be higher than 65 dB to ensure that the Dorgard will detect and respond.The robust design allows it to endure heavy foot traffic and impacts, making it suitable for demanding environments. As this requires professional installation, Dorgard Pro is exclusively available to professional installers.
