Geofire – Innovators of Fire Technology

Geofire designs and manufactures high quality electromagnetic fire safety solutions which are compliant with the UK Fire Safety Regulations. The radio controlled Salamander and acoustic Agrippa ranges are perfect for retrofitting into government buildings, where minimum disruption, but maximum protection is paramount.

Many buildings have the requirement to hold fire doors open, for a variety of reasons such as:

• Ensuring ease of access throughout the building
• Helping to prevent wear and tear of expensive fire doors
• Improving ventilation
• Restriction-free movement around the building in line with the disability provision of the Equality Act 2010
   

It is therefore vital that in the event of a fire, the fire doors are able to act as intended and close doors to prevent the spread of smoke and flames.

The Agrippa magnetic door holders and free-swing door closers are trusted devices that safely hold open fire doors using sound-activated technology. The devices learn the sound of your specific fire alarm, releasing the door in the event of a fire.  The releasing trigger reacts to a particular sound rather than simply a loud noise, significantly reducing false activations. Agrippa is wire-free, fail-safe and can easily be retrofitted to any door.

Agrippa products can be fitted to hold heavy fire doors open, giving you peace of mind that the fire doors will close in the event of the fire alarm sounding.

Protecting people, floors, and your doors, with our unique, wire-free devices fitted to the top of the fire door to prevent floor damage or door warping. The fire door holder can also be floor mounted if required. Find an Agrippa distributor near you, on the website page.
