Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Windsor
We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Windsor and the SL4 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.
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 Windsor: questions
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.
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 Windsor?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Windsor is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Windsor?
Yes. As well as Windsor itself we cover nearby towns including Slough, Egham and Staines.
