Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Kingston upon Hull

From the HU1 district outwards, we cover Kingston upon Hull and neighbouring towns such as Beverley and Grimsby 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 Kingston upon Hull.

Common questions in Kingston upon Hull

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kingston upon Hull?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Kingston upon Hull?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
