Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Flint

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Flint and the CH6 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Flint

Do you cover the area around Flint?

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

How often should they be tested?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Flint?

No. Flint 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.
