Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Dronfield

From the S18 district outwards, we cover Dronfield and neighbouring towns such as Chesterfield and Sheffield 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 Dronfield.

Dronfield FAQs

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.

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 Dronfield?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Dronfield 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 Dronfield from another company's report?

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