Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Morden

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

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 Morden.

Common questions in Morden

Can you price remedial work in Morden from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Morden, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Morden?

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