Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wembley

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Wembley? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Wembley and surrounding parts of Greater London, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.

Wembley FAQs

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.

Can you price remedial work in Wembley from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Wembley, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Wembley?

Wembley is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
