TOOLSTATION STOCKS AGRIPPA DOOR HOLDER
The Agrippa fire door holder is now available to buy in store and online at Toolstation .
Launched four years ago by UK manufacturer Geofire , the battery powered door retainer automatically releases the fire door in the event of the fire alarm sounding .
Unlike other wire free retainers , the Agrippa holder records the sound of the fire alarm , storing the sound onto the device . If the building ’ s alarm sounds , the door is released to prevent the spread of smoke and flames .
The sound activated , Agrippa holder is available at over 270 Toolstation branches , over the phone or online . Due to its wire free installation , the holder can be fitted in 10 minutes .
Andy Collinson , CEO of Geofire , said , ‘ It ’ s great to see suppliers like Toolstation stocking the Agrippa door holder . The device provides a simple and compliant solution to holding open fire doors where a wedge is sometimes used .
‘ What ’ s more , the Agrippa holder uses our patented ‘ listen and learn ’ technology to record the sound of the building ’ s specific fire alarm , so false activations are eliminated .’
