Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Widnes: questions

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 Widnes?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Widnes 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 Widnes from another company's report?

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

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.
