Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Buckinghamshire: questions
How often should they be tested?
With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Buckinghamshire?
Buckinghamshire 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.
