Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Rhyl

Rhyl landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door hold-open devices with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

Rhyl FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Rhyl?

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

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 Rhyl?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.

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.
