Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Muswell Hill

Muswell Hill landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door hold-open devices with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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.

Common questions in Muswell Hill

How often should they be tested?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Muswell Hill?

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

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.

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

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