Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Huntingdon

Huntingdon landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door hold-open devices with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Huntingdon.

Common questions in Huntingdon

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Huntingdon?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Huntingdon 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.

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Huntingdon?

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.
