Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Cricklewood

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Cricklewood, our fire door hold-open devices follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Cricklewood.

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.
