Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wimbledon

Responsible persons in Wimbledon can book fire door hold-open devices with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

Questions from Wimbledon clients

Which fire safety law applies in Wimbledon?

Wimbledon 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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Wimbledon?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Wimbledon 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.

How often should they be tested?

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