Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Stroud

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Stroud and the GL6 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.

Common questions in Stroud

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 Stroud?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Stroud?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Stroud can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.
