Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Fulham

Fulham 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. We use the same method for buildings in Fulham.

Typical Fulham fire door jobs

Questions from Fulham clients

Do you cover the area around Fulham?

Yes. As well as Fulham itself we cover nearby towns including Chelsea, Putney and Battersea.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Fulham?

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

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.

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.
