Many leisure facilities hold their doors open to welcome new and existing members, especially at this busy time of year, following the festivities and New Year celebrations. Customers in the leisure industries have admitted to using kettlebells to keep fire doors open, which increases the risk of fire spreading.
Holding open fire doors with a weight or heavy object prevents a fire door from closing if a fire occurs. Fire, toxic fumes, and smoke will then travel through a building risking life and property which could lead to hefty fines and imprisonment.
Agrippa fire door holders
Electromagnetic device is wire-free and battery-powered and can be fitted easily to any fire door
At Geofire, we’d like to help you stay compliant and safe when welcoming customers back this January with Agrippa fire door holders. The electromagnetic device is wire-free and battery-powered and can be fitted easily to any fire door in less than ten minutes.
They will hold the door open and only close the fire door on the sound of a specific fire alarm, so it won’t just release the door upon any loud noise (or music!). This will give ease of access through the gym and allow air to ventilate throughout the building reducing condensation on mirrors and windows.
Keep kettlebells free for exercise in 2019 and choose a safer way to hold open fire doors and keep members and building safe.
