Frequently Asked Questions

Are foot operated door holders suitable for schools or hospitals?

Yes – foot operated door holders are ideal for high-traffic environments such as schools, hospitals, and care homes. They allow for hands-free operation, improving hygiene and accessibility. However, traditional foot-operated bolts should not be used on fire doors. For fire safety compliance, we recommend using a certified product like the Dorgard, which automatically releases the door when a fire alarm is triggered.

What material is best for outdoor cabin hooks?

Stainless steel or galvanised steel is best for outdoor cabin hooks. These materials resist rust and corrosion, making them perfect for garden gates or coastal environments.

Can I install a door holder on a UPVC door?

Yes, but use caution. You'll need to choose a model that suits lightweight UPVC doors and avoid drilling into glazing panels. Adhesive or surface-mounted options may be preferable.

Do magnetic door holders require electricity?

No, standard magnetic door holders are mechanical and require no power. However, some heavy-duty electromagnetic models used on fire doors may require a wired power supply.

What’s the difference between a door stop and a door holder?v

A door stop prevents a door from opening too far or hitting a wall. A door holder actively keeps the door open until manually or automatically released.
