Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Acton

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Acton? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Acton and surrounding parts of Greater London, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Acton.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Acton: 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Acton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Acton 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 Acton?

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

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.
