To hold the door open:

1. Open the door to the required position.

2. Stand sideways to the door.

3. Depress the Plunger down using your foot. Greater

foot pressure may be needed depending upon the

force from the door closer or the type of floor surface.

4. Whilst depressing the Plunger, push/pull the door

gently in the direction of closing.

5. Remove your foot and let go of the door.

To release Dorgard, either:

A. Lightly tap the Plunger towards the fire door with

your foot.

or;

B. Push the door in the direction of opening.

Note. If the door has been pushed hard against

the Floorplate Bump Stop or a wall, then

Dorgard will only release by method A.

Self Test:

Dorgard conducts weekly Self Tests 12 hours after

Battery installation and then every 7 days after that.

During the Self Test, if the fire door is being retained,

Dorgard will release the door. Should Dorgard detect

an internal fault it will sound a warning tone and Fail

to Safe.
