Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Crewe

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

In short: 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 Crewe: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Crewe?

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

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

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