SMOK-CHEK® V is an electromechanical closer-holder combining the functions of a single-point door holder with the proven reliability of Rixson's M2220 Series door closer. SMOK-CHEK V is designed to hold fire/smoke doors open, and release when activated by a fire alarm system. SMOK-CHEK V units are listed as automatic closer release devices for use on fire rated/smoke doors.

SMOK-CHEK V is available as a fully detectored “stand alone” unit for buildings not equipped with an alarm system, or as a non-detectored unit in buildings with existing alarm systems. It is recommended for the majority of room and door requirements including cross-corridor and double egress doors, horizontal exit and stairway doors.

The modular design of Smok-Chek® offers ease of replacement of all major components including the magnet, holder, detector module, closer, and arm.
