Intelligent fire door

Safety and convenience often don’t
sit well together. We know we need
to keep fire doors closed to hinder
the spread of fire, yet often ease and
convenience mean doors are

holds fire doors open at any angle
but automatically closes the door
when the fire alarm sounds,
preventing the spread of fire and
smoke around the building.
