Description

Magnetic Timed Door Holder

Electromagnetic timed door holder which operates independently of the existing fire alarm system. Designed to hold single or double doors open for up to 57 seconds, thus preventing loss of energy and heat. You have the option to reduce time to as far as 20 seconds, cutting door draught, noise, and loss of heat yet maintaining fire protection.

A fail-proof system for doors that are normally open for long periods of time which causes the door to buckle.

When you push the door open, the magnet and armature magnetise for the period of time set, up to 57 seconds. Then automatically releases closing the door. The time period for staying open is by the design of the Fire Brigade Head Quarters at Moreton-in-Marsh. Bracket attachment to attach the magnet to the door frame is an available option.

  • No special wiring is required and can use bell flex.
  • Ideal for Residential Houses, Disabled Access, Warehouses, Hospitals, Offices, etc…
  • Accepted by Fire Brigades and Building Control Officers.

See our order references tab for all options available.

ALSO AVAILABLE:

NEW RETRO-FIT TIME DELAY UNIT FOR HOLDING DOORS OPEN FOR UP TO 60 MINUTES THEN CLOSE.
For use where an existing magnetic timed door hold is already installed and some doors need to be shut after a period of time.

The retro-fit system can be installed on a single or double pair of doors. A compact relay is fitted to door and a time controller for a period of time if you want the door open. However, if the fire alarm system rings this would immediately close all doors.


Our products upgrade doors to Fire Door rating, in compliance with Building Control. Browse our full range of Fire Door products online.

Application Instructions

Both the MH24 (24 Volt) and the MH240 (240 Volt) units are mounted in a powder coated steel casing
with brushed stainless steel front covers. The armature plate is mounted on a plastic back plate with a
flexible ring.
The armature plates are made of a special metal and designed to release easily when power is
removed. NO magnet sticking.
Both MH24 and MH240 can be wired to any type of fire alarm system with the correct voltage.
MH24 can also be used with the Envirohold Timed Door Hold System, which does not require wiring to
a fire alarm system, for holding doors open for up to 57 seconds.
Should the fire alarm system be unable to take anymore load, Envirograf® can supply a 240 volt to 24
volt control unit to control up to 2 magnets.
Where doors are far away from a wall, Envirograf® manufacture a metal plate to go by the architrave to
mount the magnet box onto; finished in white or brown.
