Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Bracknell

From the RG12 district outwards, we cover Bracknell and neighbouring towns such as Crowthorne and Wokingham for fire door hold-open devices.

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.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Bracknell: questions

Do you cover the area around Bracknell?

Yes. As well as Bracknell itself we cover nearby towns including Crowthorne, Wokingham and Sandhurst.

How often should they be tested?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bracknell?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Bracknell is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.
