Product Information

The Agrippa acoustic wireless door holder can be programmed to register the sound of an alarm and only operate when the volume of that alarm is above a certain threshold. This means that it will not activate if a loud bang is heard, or any other startling noises. Fire door accessories – like any other installation – require proper fitting and maintenance to function as they should.

Fire doors are a critical part of fire protection in buildings. A fire door is a type of door designed to slow the spread of fire, heat and smoke from one compartment of a building to another by isolating the compartments. Fire doors can be found in almost every commercial building and business premises. As smoke tends to travel faster than the fire itself, fire and smoke door seals act as a barrier between smoke and the interior of a building. By preventing passive inhalation at entry points, they can help protect residents from serious injury or death caused by exposure to toxic fumes during an emergency.

The intumescent pillows are especially suitable for computers or clean areas where work is in progress. We often advise that these are used for overnight fire protection.

Our team of qualified fire door surveyors will measure, specify and quote for fire doors in the locations where you require them. This service is ideal for new premises where fire doors need to be fitted, and those that need to replace older fire doors that are damaged or no longer compliant. Fire door closersThe purpose of a fire door is to compartmentalise different sections of a building and by doing so contain the spread of fires. An overhead door closer – or fire door closer – is a device that ensures that a fire door closes after being opened. Legally, fire doors should remain shut and the installation of fire door closers enforces this requirement. Fire doors can also save money because the smoke from a fire will damage walls, floors, furnishings and paintwork. If a fire door is present then the room should be salvageable with minimum costs as you aren’t required to replace all of your flooring or re-paint all of your walls. At All Things Inspector, we are experts at developing materials that help construction crews keep up with fire door compliance. This is the ideal solution for holding a fire door open and is essential for areas where access is a necessity. We can program these devices to have timed releases which will ensure the fire door is then lightweight, easy to handle and swings freely.How can you make your fire doors more effective?
