Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Seaford
Seaford landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door hold-open devices with straightforward reports and fixed prices.
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.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Seaford: questions
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Seaford?
Seaford 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.

Yes. As well as Seaford itself we cover nearby towns including Rottingdean, Eastbourne and Hailsham.
How often should they be tested?
