Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Hounslow

From the TW3 district outwards, we cover Hounslow and neighbouring towns such as Isleworth and Heston for fire door hold-open devices.

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 Hounslow.

Common questions in Hounslow

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.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Hounslow?

Hounslow 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.
