Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in County Tyrone
Across County Tyrone, including rural and island locations, we carry out fire door hold-open devices for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Door Hold-Open Devices: 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.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in County Tyrone: questions
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.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in County Tyrone?
The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require fire safety measures, including fire doors, to be maintained.
