Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Hartlepool

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Hartlepool and the TS26 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Hartlepool.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Hartlepool: questions

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Hartlepool?

Hartlepool is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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.
