Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Tottenham: questions

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Tottenham?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tottenham?

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