Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wrexham

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wrexham, Clwyd: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Wrexham.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wrexham: questions

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.

Can you price remedial work in Wrexham from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Wrexham, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Which fire safety law applies in Wrexham?

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.

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.
