Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Willesden

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Willesden and the NW10 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 Willesden.

Questions from Willesden clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Willesden?

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

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.

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 Willesden?

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