Door Restrictors And Holders

  • Cabin hooks are long pivoting arms with a shaped hook on the end. The arm is attached to the wall, and an eyepiece is mounted on the back of the door. Cabin hooks hold a door open and are commonly used on external doors, including back doors and French windows.
  • Foot-operated door holders are fitted to the bottom of a door. They have a plunger with a rubber foot. When the plunger is pushed down by a foot, the door will be held open in position.
  • We also stock hold-open magnets that can be floor or wall-mounted, free-standing door weights, portable door stops, and architectural-quality designer door wedges.
  • Our range of external door restrictors includes a top jamb/frame-mounted option that can also serve as a door stop, as well as surface-mounted and concealed-mounted door restrictors, all of which can limit a door's opening angle to 90 degrees.
  • The Dorgard acoustic fire door retainers are battery-operated, wire-free systems. These hold-open devices are fitted to the bottom of a fire door and are operated via a foot plunger.
  • When pushed down, the door will remain in its open position. 
  • The Dorgard listens for a continuous fire alarm sound level of over 65 decibels. After approximately 14 seconds, the Dorgard releases, allowing the fire door to close under the pressure of the overhead door closer.
