Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Slough

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Slough? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Slough and surrounding parts of Berkshire, 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 Slough.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Slough: questions

How often should they be tested?

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

Can you price remedial work in Slough from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Slough, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Slough?

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

Can hold-open devices be used on flat entrance doors?

Generally not on flat entrance doors in residential blocks. They are mainly used on corridor and cross-corridor doors in other buildings, subject to the fire risk assessment.
