"We recently fitted your 'Dorgards' to six of our fire doors and we wish to compliment you on a great product. Firstly, they were well packaged with everything one could need (even the screws were a good make). The 'Fitting and Operating Guide' was excellent and made them easy to fit. They also work perfectly with our alarm bells and we use one of the preset night time release options."
