All commercial premises have an obligation to their employees and visitors when it comes to safety and security. Often, these obligations are also legal requirements, particularly when it comes to fire protection.
It’s therefore important for commercial premises, as well as hotels and residential homes, to have fire doors that are designed, manufactured and fitted to the very highest standards. The Freedor is a wireless, battery powered, free-swing door closer which is the ideal choice when it comes to ensuring that all fire doors within your property meet the relevant legislation.
These closers can be fitted to doors that open both left and right handed, whether in new buildings or older properties, and they have an adjustable closing and latching speed for your convenience. Plus, thanks to some significant improvements, the battery life of the device has now been extended to 18-24 months.
Freedor’s unique, wireless design allows it to be fitted to virtually any fire door, and as it allows the door to swing freely, it’s possible for the user to leave the door open in any position, safe in the knowledge that the door will close automatically when the fire alarm sounds. This thereby prevents the spread of fire and smoke within the property and avoids the need to run expensive cabling and links with fire alarm systems.
The device fully complies with BS EN 1154 and BS EN 1155, so you can be confident that it is fully certified to the relevant British Standards for fire safety. It also includes fail-to-safe technology, and can be used in buildings with both manual and automatic fire detection systems. In addition, it’s available in a variety of colours and finishes, so as to suit the décor of the building.
Of course, all safety and fire protection devices should be fitted by experienced and knowledgeable professionals to guarantee their functionality, and Doorfit are proud to be both suppliers and registered installers of Freedor.
