Questions from St Austell clients

Can hold-open devices be used on flat entrance doors?

Do you work in occupied buildings in St Austell?

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

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.
