Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Finchley

From the N3 district outwards, we cover Finchley and neighbouring towns such as Muswell Hill and Cricklewood for fire door hold-open devices.

In short: 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.

Finchley FAQs

How often should they be tested?

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

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Finchley?

Finchley 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.
