The floor plate is designed for use with an installed Dorgard. It is fitted to the floor using 4 screws.

Fire doors weighing more than 120Kg, which have a closing force in excess of 120nm (that’s a force of about 15kg, 800mm from the hinge) must have the Floor plate installed in combination with the Dorgard unit. Dorgard can hold a fire door open safely without the floor plate installation if the fire doors weight and closing force are less than those listed above.

We recommend a floor plate is installed when:

A   Your fire door has a powerful overhead door closure and the fire door tends to creep closed even with a Dorgard fitted.

B    Or: The floor is slippery/very smooth and fitted Dorgard tends to slip closed.
