Why hold fire doors open?

Fire is one of the most prevalent threats faced by businesses in the Leisure industry. Health and leisure centres, Hotels, Museums and Theatres all have to deal with large volumes of people and stuffy buildings with high humidity levels.

Why wire free Salamander?

Staff often illegally wedge open fire doors to increase the flow of fresh air throughout the building. In doing this, fire and toxic smoke can spread very quickly, putting property and people at risk.

Installing traditional wired door holder systems often means major disruption, as well as increased costs. Installing acoustic systems means potential floor damage and false activations.

With the latest Salamander wire free intelligent radio controlled door holder system, Geofire can help preserve your valuable equipment at the same time as safeguarding the lives of staff and members and guests.

Hotels

As hotels compete for top reviews, they cannot afford to have unhappy customers. When guests arrive jaded after a long journey, many get even more frustrated when they have to stumble through corridors with heavy suitcases. By legally holding Fire doors open, Hotels can allow ease of access around the building to ensure repeat bookings.

Benefits

  • Highest level of fire security - All Geofire products meet the most stringent protection measures required at crucial fire exits requiring Category A protection, as defined by BS7273 Part 4.
  • Reduces wear and tear - Holding doors open allows restriction-free movement through corridors in line with the Disability Discrimination Act and to help prevent damage from luggage and trolleys.
  • Save staff time and costs - Reduce the time needed to monitor the building by increasing visibility, thus significantly reducing ongoing staffing costs.
Our Inn dates back to the 16th century and has recently undergone major refurbishment. We were determined that all works carried out would be sympathetic with the age and character of the property. Unlike other products which are available, Salamander is very unobtrusive and will not damage our new flooring. The technology is obviously very advanced as the system works perfectly through our thick walls - something which our wire free credit card machine can't do!
