Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Kilmarnock

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Kilmarnock and the KA1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: a fire door hold-open device keeps a fire door open in normal use and releases it to close automatically when the fire alarm activates. Free-swing closers let the door move freely like an ordinary door, then close it on alarm.

Kilmarnock FAQs

Do you cover the area around Kilmarnock?

Yes. As well as Kilmarnock itself we cover nearby towns including Irvine, Ayr and Newton Mearns.

Do acoustic hold-open devices work with any alarm?

They listen for the alarm sounder, so the sounder must be loud enough at the door. We check the sound level and the alarm type before recommending one.

Which fire safety law applies in Kilmarnock?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.
