Dorgard can be mounted temporarily to the door with Fun-Tack (Blu-tack). You can then move
the unit up/down left/right to the best position for permanent mounting.
Tools Required to:
Fit Dorgard:
A screwdriver (either a Phillips / Pozidrive size No. 2 or a flat blade, parallel tip, 6.5mm wide).
A bradawl (a sharp pointed tool for making holes in wood). A 3mm drill bit and electric drill may
be needed if a kickplate is fitted to the door.
Fit Floorplate:
A pencil, a 6 mm masonry drill bit (for concrete floors), an electric drill and a Phillips screwdriver
(Pozidrive size No. 2).
Automatic Night Time Release
During normal operation Dorgard can be used to hold fire doors open 24 hours a day. It is
however recommended that fire doors are closed at night, as most buildings are unoccupied
during these hours. The chance of a fire spreading undetected is therefore higher than during
daylight operations. Should you decide that your fire doors should be closed at night, Dorgard
can be selected to release at a pre-set time. Dorgard will release at this pre-set time and then
will not operate as an hold open device until a pre-set time the following morning.
To use this function Dorgard’s internal time clock should be set to 12.00 noon, and dip switch
selection should be made prior to installation.The dip switches can be found on the back of unit.
For normal operation the dip switches should be left in the Off position. Use the small black
screwdriver supplied to select any dip switch to the On position, to activate the Automatic Night
Time Release option.
The available Night time release options are:

Dip switch 1

= Release at 20:00 hrs – Operational 08:00 hrs
