Good morning the plunger travel of the Dorgard is 2cm so a 5cm gap would be too large. The Geofire Agrippa Acoustic Door Closer might be a solution. This is also battery operated and acoustically triggered and gets installed at the top of the door. Thanks Rahel
Hi thank you for your response Would it be possible to use these https://www.safelincs.co.uk/doormouse-wall-mounted-firedoor-holders/ And have them connected to the link wire of the smoke detectors or would I have to use the acoustic version? https://www.safelincs.co.uk/geofire-agrippa-acoustic-door-holder/ I would prefer a proper wired version over a sound activated version but I can only find details for using them with a fire panel which I think is over the top for a h...
Hi Abi, you might want to consider free-swing door closers. These allow fire doors to be opened just like normal doors (no resistance) and will stay open in any position
Hi I'm about to replace a standard door closer with a Geofire Agrippa acoustically operated one. The template for drilling the holes for the closer arm partially overlaps where the existing closer was mounted and this was bodged slightly so I'm going to have to drill out the old screw. Horizontal positioning presumably whilst important is not as critical as vertical, so would it matter if I moved the closer arm (and therefore main unit) a couple of inches either way? Thanks ...
To add to AB advice there is an acoustic free swing door closer which may be suitable if you have a domestic smoke detector. http://www.safelincs.co.uk/door-closers/ or http://www.safelincs.co.uk/geofire-agrippa-acoustic-door-closer/
Many people are unaware of the devastating effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide has no colour, smell or taste and cannot be detected by the human senses. It is extremely dangerous, binding itself to the haemoglobin in red blood cells and preventing them from transporting oxygen around the body.
According to statistics released by the Office for National Statistics, throughout England and Wales, there are an average of over 60 deaths every year due to accidental exposure to carbon monoxide - up to 45% of which occur in the home.

Figures from the Department of Health and Social Care show that there are around 4000 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning treated in A&E Departments across England each year - even mild cases can exacerbate existing conditions such as respiratory illnesses, leading to fatalities.
According to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for England, around 200 per year are hospitalised in England and Wales as a result of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
A study of more than 27,000 properties by the Liverpool John Moores University, supported by the Merseyside and West Midlands Fire Services, found that less than 10% of homes have a single carbon monoxide alarm to protect occupants from this deadly gas.
