Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Llanelli
We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Llanelli and the SA15 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.
In short: 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.

Llanelli FAQs
Do you work in occupied buildings in Llanelli?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Llanelli can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
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.
