Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Uxbridge

From the UB8 district outwards, we cover Uxbridge and neighbouring towns such as Ruislip and Hayes for fire door hold-open devices.

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 Uxbridge: 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Uxbridge?

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

Do you cover the area around Uxbridge?

Yes. As well as Uxbridge itself we cover nearby towns including Ruislip, Hayes and Gerrards Cross.

How often should they be tested?

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