Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Hornchurch: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Hornchurch?

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

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hornchurch?

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