Dorgard is 5-Star Choice for Hotels
14 June 2007
Many of the UK's most prestigious hotels are specifying the Dorgard range of wire-free fire door hold open devices to ease mobility of hotel occupants.
At 5-star Claridge's, enhanced accessibility in active locations such as service areas is provided by Dorgard. And at the 5-star London Hilton on Park Lane, in Mayfair, Dorgard has similarly enhanced accessibility in active public spaces to safeguard hotel guests and personnel. The Dorgard principle is cost-efficient, as it doesn't have to be 'wired-in'. Installation is subject to site-specific fire risk assessment, and five minutes is all it takes to fit Dorgard. Because this battery-operated hold open device fixes to the door itself, the door can be held open at any angle. (Battery lifetime exceeds regulatory fire safety policy directives.) In typical installation compliance is satisfied providing the relevant regulatory criteria are observed, and their installation interacts with an appropriate fire alarm system that complies with British Standard 5839 Part 1. With more than 150,000 Dorgards installed across the UK, Fireco's listening technology is recognised as the safe, most cost-effective way of legally holding open fire doors in any position and automatically releasing them when the fire alarm sounds The Dorgard range is now acknowledged as an established technology offering a solution over the widest range of applications, and complies fully with all relevant British Standards, EC Directives and UK Workplace Fire Regulations.
