Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Holloway

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

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.

Questions from Holloway clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Holloway?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Holloway 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.

How often should they be tested?

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

Do you cover the area around Holloway?

Yes. As well as Holloway itself we cover nearby towns including Highbury, Archway and Camden Town.
