The Vimpex range of Wired and Wire-Free Door Holders and accessories offers the installer the broadest choice of mounting styles and holding power. Mounted onto a fixed surface, these door holders ensure retention of the fire door by means of a smart metallic keeper plate and is interfaced with the fire alarm system.

When it comes to building specification, ensuring there are appropriate fire safety measures in place to protect occupants is a top priority.

Wired and Wire-Free Door Holders are arguably the single most important fire safety mechanism, guard against the lethal spread of toxic smoke and fumes – by far the greatest cause of death in fires.

Keeping a fire door propped open is illegal. Makeshift stoppers prevent the closing of the door – allowing smoke and fire to spread throughout the building making it difficult for occupants to escape and become overwhelmed with smoke.

Door Holders are de-energised as soon as the fire is detected thus releasing the door without a potentially harmful delay. This also allows a door to be safely kept open if needed and automatically closed during a fire.
