Broanmain Plastics and compliance fire safety specialist Fireco
collaborated on a new fire-compliant magnetic door device for healthcare, residential, education, leisure hospitality and industrial facilities. Fireco’s innovative new fire-compliant magnetic door device, the radio-activated DorMag Pro, is designed to hold fire doors open to improve access and building ventilation, yet close automatically when a fire or intruder alarm is activated.
As the DorMag Pro is radio activated, the strip needed to be made of non-metallic material. To meet these design aspirations, Fireco and Broanmain requested ACT’s decorative expertise. ACT provided a solution that combined aesthetics and durability, while adhering to the specific needs of the radio-activated device.
As well as mass-moulding the seven components, Broanmain Plastics undertakes some of the specialist finishing tasks, including heat staking a metal clip onto the battery carrier and overseeing the paint finish. Fireco assembles all the internal components, including fitting magnets and the PCBs in-house. Every element is moulded by Broanmain Plastics with absolute precision to meet the tight tolerances.
