Fire Door Release Systems


AWAlarms offer installation and ongoing maintenance support for a variety of fire door retainers.

Compliance

Wedging open fire doors is dangerous and illegal. We have solutions to this problem—making compliance easy.

Ventilation

Fresh air circulating throughout a building is beneficial for occupants’ health and well-being. Having to keep fire doors closed at all times can be problematic, as it prevents the flow of air.

Access

Closed fire doors can make access through a building difficult. This is a particular problem in schools, hospitals and care homes where heavy fire doors might be difficult for people to open, and where staff need easy access in an emergency. Heavy fire doors can also be an issue in hotels for guests with luggage and staff with trays
