Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Crowborough: questions

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.

Do you cover the area around Crowborough?

Yes. As well as Crowborough itself we cover nearby towns including Royal Tunbridge Wells, East Grinstead and Tonbridge.

Which fire safety law applies in Crowborough?

Crowborough 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.
