Freedor SmartSound Overhead Door Closer
Overview
Freedor SmartSound is an overhead door closer designed to make opening and closing a fire door effortless. This wireless unit allows the door to be held open at any angle during normal use and automatically closes the door when the sound of the fire alarm is detected. Its intelligent SmartSound listening technology offers practical fire safety without compromising accessibility or day-to-day convenience.
As a free-swing closer, Freedor SmartSound allows users to move the door with minimal resistance, unlike conventional self-closing door devices. This makes it particularly suitable for environments such as care homes, hospitals, hotels, schools and public buildings where ease of access and safe movement are essential.
Key Features
- Wireless battery operation: fitted to the top of the door without requiring hard-wired alarm connections.
- Hold-open at any angle: the door can be positioned open at the desired angle for convenient access.
- Free-swing functionality: allows the door to be pushed open easily without the usual door closer resistance.
- Continuous alarm listening: SmartSound technology constantly monitors the sound pattern of the fire alarm.
- Automatic fire response: when the alarm sounds, the door closer automatically releases and closes the door.
- Improved accessibility: helps reduce strain and supports safer movement through heavier fire doors.
Application Benefits
Freedor SmartSound is ideal for locations where fire doors need to remain open for circulation, ventilation or accessibility but must still close automatically in the event of a fire alarm. Because it is mounted overhead and works wirelessly, installation is straightforward and does not require invasive cabling work to the fire alarm system.
The free-swing design is especially valuable in high-traffic buildings or in premises used by elderly, disabled or vulnerable occupants. By reducing the force required to move the door during normal operation, Freedor SmartSound helps create a safer and more comfortable user experience while still preserving fire compartmentation when needed.
