Arrow Electromagnetic Hold Open or Swing Free - 623/4/5/6 - Universal
The Arrow Electromagnetic Hold Open or Swing Free series of Fire Door Closers is the ultimate solution to ensure compliance with both Fire Safety regulations and BS8300 and ADM guidelines.
Hold Open Mode
Linked to the buildings Fire Detection system, Hold Open Mode can be used to safely and legally hold open doors throughout a building to aid flow of traffic and provide barrier free access, but upon detection of a fire, releases the door automatically allowing it to close and prevent the spread of flame and smoke.
Swing Free Mode
The Swing Free Electromagnetic Closer allows the door to operate as if no closer was fitted by providing virtually no opening resistance. Linked to the buildings Fire Detection system, the closer can be held open at any angle specified by the user but shuts automatically upon first detection of a fire – preventing the spread of flame and smoke.

Meeting the requirements for Ease of Access
The Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) and BS 8300 recommends the inclusion of Electromagnetic solutions to ensure standards for Ease of Access, Building Regulations, the Equality Act and Advanced Document M (ADM) are met.
Compared with traditional Mechanical Door Closers, Electromagnetic Door Closers have extremely low opening forces, and therefore are not materially affected by external factors such as hinges, seals, latches, air pressure and variable fitting standards & positions.
As can be seen from the table below our Electromagnetic Door Closers operate at a wide range of CE Powers and Door Widths, all meeting the requirements for ADM:
| CE Power Size | Model Number | Minimum Door Widths for ADM | Maximum Door Widths for ADM |
| 3 | 623U | 750mm | 950mm |
| 4 | 624U | 750mm | 1100mm |
| 5 | 625U | 750mm | 1250mm |
| 6 | 626U | 750mm | 1400mm |
