The Shuttle Intelligent Fire Door Retainer has been launched by Bull Products. This latest fire protection product is an intelligent fire safety device designed to close fire doors quickly during an emergency, which makes it an ideal solution for construction sites where there are multiple fire doors that are propped open during work on site.

With fire doors becoming a major requirement in the fire risk management plan, as written into HSG168 and other safety standards, it is illegal to prop or hold fire doors open with door stops or other items. The Shuttle Intelligent Fire Door retainer provides a legal way of holding fire doors open, but closing upon a fire signal.

“According to HSE, each year there are a number of serious fires on construction sites and buildings undergoing refurbishment – many of which could be avoided by careful planning and control of work activities,” said Bradley Markham, Director at Bull Products.

Shuttle has been designed to react only to the acoustic signature of the learnt alarm sound and will discard all other alarm sounds, thanks to its dual listening technology. Once na alarm sounds, the device activates the fire door to close, ensuring fire escape routes are protected at all times.

With flexible setting of times and dates and an intuitive setup menu, Shuttle is easy to use and offers additional features including the easy night release function and a fault reader.

“We are delighted to be offering customers a brand new product that we believe will take fire safety to new heights and ensure workers’ safety is front of mind,” Bradley concluded.

Bull Products is an independently-owned manufacturer and importer of life-saving products for the construction industry. Its core range of innovative products include fire protection and fall arrest equipment, but with the ever increasing customer demand, Bull have carefully selected a range of environmental products, signage and first aid solutions to enhance and complete a truly world class offering.
