Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Winsford: questions

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Winsford?

Winsford is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Winsford?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Winsford can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
