Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Dunstable

Need a fire door hold-open device in Dunstable? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Dunstable.
