Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Ruislip

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Ruislip and the HA4 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Ruislip.
