Because electromagnetic door closers are linked to a building’s fire alarm system, these will automatically close a door when the alarm is triggered, keeping people and property safe. There are two operation modes of electromagnetic door closers available. Hold-open models are ideal for high traffic areas or spaces where reduced touchpoints are a benefit, holding doors open so people can easily move about a site. Alternatively, there’s free-swing solutions, which operate as though no door closer is fitted. These are perfect for environments such as care homes, where minimal force might be needed to open or close a door. High end electromagnetic closers can switch between both modes.
