Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Canning Town

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

Questions from Canning Town clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Canning Town?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Canning Town is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those 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 cover the area around Canning Town?

Yes. As well as Canning Town itself we cover nearby towns including Stratford, Bow and Canary Wharf.

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.
