Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Greenwich: questions

How often should they be tested?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Greenwich?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Greenwich can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Greenwich?

Greenwich 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.
