The Briton 996 Series incorporates an integrated electromagnetic hold-open mechanism which, when connected to the building's fire alarm and detection system, can be set to either hold-open or swing-free operation. In either case the spring power of the door control is electronically disengaged to allow free passage. When de-activated the electromagnet releases and the door is allowed to close in the normal manner to maintain fire integrity. The Briton 996 Series is ideal for use in areas where a conventional door control would hinder, or worse, bar access to the user.
