Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Failsworth
From the M35 district outwards, we cover Failsworth and neighbouring towns such as Droylsden and Ashton-under-Lyne for fire door hold-open devices.
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 Failsworth.

Failsworth FAQs
How often should they be tested?
With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.
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 Failsworth from another company's report?
Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Failsworth, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
