Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Bexhill-on-Sea

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Bexhill-on-Sea and the TN40 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 Bexhill-on-Sea.
