Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Greater London: 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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Greater London?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Greater London is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Greater London?
Yes. As well as Greater London itself we cover nearby towns including London, Brent and Islington.
