Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Belper

From the DE56 district outwards, we cover Belper and neighbouring towns such as Ripley and Heanor for 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. We use the same method for buildings in Belper.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Belper: 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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Belper?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Belper is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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

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