Quick and easy to install
The Salamander range has all the benefits of hard-wired electromagnetic door retainers and closers, but as the devices are wire-free, they are quick and easy to install, saving time, installation costs and disruption to a building’s fabric or its occupants. The Salamander free-swing door closer and door holder are suitable for Category A installations, the safest installation defined by BS7273-4; the products suit all areas of a building including main fire escape routes. They are also approved to EN1155 and CE marked.
Salamander devices are battery operated and connect wirelessly to a mains-powered controller unit, which is easily wired into existing fire alarm systems, ensuring that fire doors will safely close in the event of a fault or fire. One controller unit can manage up to 99 fire door closers or fire door holders.
Legally holding open fire doors opens up access throughout a building in line with the disability provisions of the Equality Act 2010, helps prevent wear and tear of expensive fire doors and improves a building’s ventilation. Unlike acoustically-triggered devices, which are not suitable for areas with high background noise, Geofire’s Salamander products are only activated by the fire alarm.
