Dorgards provide safe solution at specialist sports college
Thurstable School in Tiptree, Essex is a large, vibrant mixed comprehensive school of 1200 pupils including a Sixth Form and a specialist sports college that caters for a wide range of abilities.
Such an active campus demands the highest standards of fire safety to meet the demands of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO), which is why the school has installed Dorgard fire door hold-open devices to enhance access in busy corridors throughout the school’s buildings without compromising fire safety. Thurstable Site Manager Malcolm Over comments: 'After evaluating a number of access solutions, we found that Dorgards offered an easy installation solution that avoided the need for disruption of the premises associated with fixed wire door closers, as the corridors are constantly in use. In our view, Dorgards represent a neat and effective answer to legally holding open fire doors that satisfies our fire safety risk management guidelines.’
Dorgard is the wireless solution that offers the simplest, most cost-effective way of legally holding open fire doors safely in any position, automatically releasing them should the fire alarm sound. Dorgard also offers significant cost advantages as it can be fitted in minutes, with no wiring required. With over 250,000 Dorgards installed across the UK, the Dorgard range is the solution to the illegally wedged open fire door problem, in any environment. Dorgard complies fully with all relevant British Standards and EU Directives.
