Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Long Eaton

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Long Eaton and the NG10 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 Long Eaton.

Long Eaton FAQs

Do you cover the area around Long Eaton?

Yes. As well as Long Eaton itself we cover nearby towns including Ilkeston, Nottingham and West Bridgford.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Long Eaton?

Long Eaton 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.

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.
