At Grimsby's Carisbrooke residential care home, where residents and staff had found heavy fire doors difficult to navigate, Freedor has proved to be a solution that Home Manager Dean Smith says was “easy to install, with none of the expense and disruption to occupants or the building associated with the installation of hard-wired door closers”.

Installed at the top of a fire door and allowing the door to swing freely, Freedor lets users hold open fire doors at any angle, automatically closing them when the fire alarm sounds to prevent the spread of fire and smoke around the building.

Features include Fail-to-safe technology. Freedor complies with BS EN 1154, BS EN 1155, BS 7273-4 category B. [www.firecoltd.com]
