Freeman & Pardoe
Freeman & Pardoe is a UK specialist manufacturer of fire-door control products, best known for the Arrow range of door closers and electromagnetic hold-open / swing-free solutions designed to balance life-safety with accessibility. They position their products around passive fire protection: keeping doors usable in day-to-day operation, while ensuring they automatically close on fire alarm/power interruption to maintain compartmentation.
The company emphasises that Arrow products are designed, manufactured, and tested in Great Britain, with a catalogue that includes:
-
Fire door closers (conventional overhead closers for certified fire doors)

Electromagnetic hold-open closers linked to the building’s fire detection system, allowing doors to be held open legally for traffic flow and barrier-free access, then releasing to close on alarm
-
Complementary items like fire door signage
On compliance, Freeman & Pardoe’s Arrow products are commonly sold and specified with testing and standards alignment such as BS EN 1154 (door closers), fire testing to BS EN 1634, and accessibility considerations tied to BS 8300 / Approved Document M / Equality Act expectations (you’ll see these referenced across spec/distributor descriptions).
