Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Stamford Hill

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Stamford Hill and the N16 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 Stamford Hill.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Stamford Hill: questions

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Stamford Hill?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Stamford Hill can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stamford Hill?

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