How Our Door Lock & Closer Provide Automatic Holding

Our property is equipped with an electromagnetic hold-open door closer, which ensures the door remains open under normal conditions and automatically closes in case of an emergency or when required.

Automatic Holding Feature: The door closer includes an electromagnetic hold-open function that keeps the door open at a specific angle, preventing unnecessary closures.
Automatic Release: The mechanism is linked to the fire alarm system, ensuring the door automatically closes when triggered by an emergency event such as fire detection.
Manual Override: In addition to the automatic system, the door can be manually closed at any time for added security.
Smooth Closing Mechanism: The closer ensures controlled and quiet closing to prevent damage and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
