Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Deeside? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Deeside and surrounding parts of Clwyd, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.
