Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Brixton

Brixton landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door hold-open devices with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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.

Brixton FAQs

How often should they be tested?

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

Do you cover the area around Brixton?

Yes. As well as Brixton itself we cover nearby towns including Peckham, Pimlico and Battersea.

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 Brixton?

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