Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Warrington

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Warrington, our fire door hold-open devices follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Common questions in Warrington

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.

Do you cover the area around Warrington?

Yes. As well as Warrington itself we cover nearby towns including Great Sankey, Newton-le-Willows and Golborne.

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 Warrington?

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