Solution for commercial fire doors
Agrippa acoustic fire door holders
are proving a great success at one
of the North East’s largest hospital
trusts, where they are legally holding
open fire doors, helping to ease access
through busy corridors whilst protecting
occupants in the event of a fire alarm.
»»Agrippa door
holders use Geofire’s unique,
advanced digital technology to
uniquely ‘listen and learn’ the
sound of a specific fire alarm.
This ensures the holder’s releasing
trigger reacts only to the precise
sound of the fire alarm.
For many, fire doors can be
a barrier to access, particularly
for wheelchairs users and
people with restricted mobility,
additionally, their ‘learning’ of
the specific fire alarm means that

they work perfectly with our
alarm bells and there have been
no false closures due to loud
noises.”
As a retrofit solution, Agrippa
acoustic devices are designed
for ease of installation and can
be fitted quickly to any door.
The magnetic fire door holder
is mounted behind the door at
either floor level or at the top
of the door. A unique learning
function optimises settings to suit
the installed position, and it can

be programmed for timed daily
releases. It will not cause damage
to flooring, and can be reapplied
or moved with minimal fuss. It
requires only two C cell batteries
(which last for 12 months), has
battery life indication and low
battery warning. It is approved to
EN1155 and CE Marked.

The Agrippa Acoustic
Products Range also includes an
acoustically triggered ‘swing-free’
fire door closer. UK specialist
Geofire designs and manufactures
a wide range of electromagnetic
door holders and other activation
devices used widely as part of fire,
security or ventilation systems.
