Need a fire door hold-open device in Peckham? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Peckham: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Peckham?

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

How often should they be tested?

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

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 quickly can you inspect fire doors in Peckham?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
