Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Maidenhead

From the SL6 district outwards, we cover Maidenhead and neighbouring towns such as Slough and Windsor for fire door hold-open devices.

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.
