Portcullis Perimeter Security

Arguably the single most important fire safety mechanism, electromagnetic door holders guard against the lethal spread of toxic smoke and fumes – by far the greatest cause of death in fires.
The Vimpex range of door holders offers the installer the broadest choice of mounting styles, holding power and installation accessories.
Mounted onto a fixed surface, these door holders ensure retention of the fire door by means of a smart metallic keeper plate. Interfaced with the fire alarm system, the door holders are de-energised as soon as the fire is detected thus releasing the door without the potentially harmful delay suffered by other types of devices.
All Vimpex door holders feature metal enclosures to guard against heat fatigue - a problem associated with lower quality, plastic enclosures.

Conforms to BS EN1155 – Building Hardware – Electrically powered hold-open devices for swing doors.

Release Buttons
Sometimes an auxiliary release switch can be useful. This is particularly the case in care homes, where a resident may need to easily ensure privacy or for buildings such as cinemas and theatres where the fire door needs to be open only some of the time.
