Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Denton

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

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 Denton.

Denton FAQs

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 Denton?

Yes. As well as Denton itself we cover nearby towns including Hyde, Dukinfield and Droylsden.

Which fire safety law applies in Denton?

Denton 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.

How often should they be tested?

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