Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Woodford Green

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Woodford Green and the IG8 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Common questions in Woodford Green

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.

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 cover the area around Woodford Green?

Yes. As well as Woodford Green itself we cover nearby towns including Chingford, Walthamstow and Leytonstone.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Woodford Green?

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