Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Buckley

Responsible persons in Buckley can book fire door hold-open devices with clear reports, useful photos and itemised 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 Buckley.

Questions from Buckley clients

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 often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.

Does regulation 10 apply in Buckley?

No. Buckley is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

Do you cover the area around Buckley?

Yes. As well as Buckley itself we cover nearby towns including Hawarden, Deeside and Flint.
