Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Swadlincote

Responsible persons in Swadlincote can book fire door hold-open devices with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Swadlincote.

Questions from Swadlincote clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Swadlincote?

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

How often should they be tested?

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

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

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