Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Leighton Buzzard

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Leighton Buzzard? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Leighton Buzzard and surrounding parts of Bedfordshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Leighton Buzzard.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Leighton Buzzard: questions

How often should they be tested?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Leighton Buzzard?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Leighton Buzzard is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
