Geofire Conquest Electromagnetic Door Holder Reviews

Geofire Conquest Fire Door Holder The Geofire Conquest is a compact, surface mounted electromagnetic door retainer designed to hold open internal fire doors and release them automatically in the event of a fire alarm. With a holding force of 200N and the choice of either 24V DC or 230V AC operating voltage, this unit is suited for a wide range of commercial and public buildings. It fits directly onto a standard electrical back box, making it ideal for both retrofit and new installations where reliable performance and ease of fitting are priorities. Key Product Features: 200N holding force Two options for operating voltage: 24V DC or 230V AC Standard electrical back box size Internal diodes for back EMF protection (230V AC model only) Built-in release/test switch Adjustable keeper plate Spring loaded pin for zero residual force Tested to EN 1155 CE marked IP51 rated Surface mounted White finish Dimensions: 86mm x 86mm x 62mm Hold Open Functionality With Fire Alarm Integration The Conquest’s footprint is a key advantage, allowing it to mount directly onto a standard single gang electrical back box. A steel surface mounting box with 20mm knockouts is included to support cable entry and provide a clean, professional finish. This Geofire door holder is commonly installed in corridors, stairwells, and circulation routes where clear access is important during daily use, but where doors must close when a fire alarm system is triggered. It should always be used in conjunction with a mechanical door closer, which provides the closing action once the retainer releases. The Conquest fire door retainer holds the door open for convenience and improved traffic flow during normal operation. When the fire alarm activates or power is cut, the retainer disengages, allowing the door closer to shut the fire door fully. This helps prevent the spread of fire and smoke in an emergency and supports building compartmentation requirements. The built in test button allows for regular system checks as part of your fire safety routine. Keep test and maintenance records protected and easy to access with a lockable red fire document box. Storing documentation near key fire safety equipment aids routine checks and supports ongoing compliance. Built To Release When It Matters Most This magnetic door holder is fitted with a spring loaded release pin that makes sure there is zero residual holding force. In the event of a power failure or if the fire alarm sounds, the magnet disengages instantly, allowing the door to close securely via the existing overhead door closer. Fit the door holder on the same horizontal plane as the door closer to help prevent twisting of the door leaf and make sure the alignment is correct. Check the fire test evidence to confirm compatibility with your door. If you need a fire door retainer with added protection, consider the Geofire Doormouse. It offers similar functionality within a fire resistant housing, but please note that the footprint differs.
