Award winning Freedor, the world’s first wireless, electrically powered free-swing door closer, is proving a great success at Trowbridge Community Hospital, where it’s improving access for patients and staff using the hospital’s Maternity, X-ray and Physiotherapy departments.
Project Manager Peter Scott says that during an initial trial Freedor proved so successful the Trust now plans to install the wireless, electrically powered free-swing door closers on fire doors in a number of the Trust’s other sites.
Freedor is a unique wireless solution that allows users to hold open fire doors at any angle, automatically closing them when the fire alarm sounds to prevent the spread of fire and smoke around the building. Installed at the top of the door, Freedor is neat, unobtrusive and is easy to install in new buildings and retrofit, with none of the expense and disruption to occupants or the building associated with the installation of hard-wired door closers.
