ABSTRACT:
Means are provided for retaining fire doors in the open position against the action of spring or other automatic door closers, with remote control release which can be actuated if a fire is detected. In use, one part thereof is mounted on the wall and has holding means for engagement with another part which is mounted on the door. The wall mounted part also includes pneumatically operated actuating means for actuating the holding means when a gas pressure differing from atmospheric pressure is applied thereto so that the door is released when such pressure is removed. The pneumatically operated actuating means of a number of such door holders may be connected to a common gas pressure source together with means for releasing the gas pressure on occurrence of a fire.
