Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Chesham

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

Chesham FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chesham?

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

How often should they be tested?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Chesham?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
