Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Archway

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Archway? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Archway 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.

Common questions in Archway

Which fire safety law applies in Archway?

Archway 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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Archway?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Archway 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.
