How it Works?

 

Dorgard X enables fire doors to be kept open safely and legally. When the fire alarm sounds Dorgard X receives a signal from System X to release the fire doors, preventing the spread of fire and smoke.

Dorgard X is activated by System X Acoustic or Hardwired. When Dorgard X receives a signal from the System X, the Dorgard X will release the fire doors preventing the spread of fire and smoke.

Any number of Dorgard X units can be linked to any one System X unit within range, although a site survey must be carried out prior to installation.

To hold the door open:

  • Open the door to the required ‘hold open’ position, or open fully against the bump stop of the floor plate (if fitted)
  • Stand sideways to the door
  • Press the black knob down using your foot. Greater foot pressure may be needed depending upon force from the door closer or the type of floor surface
  • Whilst depressing the black knob pull the door gently in the direction of closing
  • Remove your foot and let go of the door
     

To release Dorgard X manually:

  • Or push the door in the direction of opening
