Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Hindley

From the WN2 district outwards, we cover Hindley and neighbouring towns such as Wigan and Westhoughton 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 Hindley.

Hindley FAQs

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.

How often should they be tested?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hindley?

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

Yes. As well as Hindley itself we cover nearby towns including Wigan, Westhoughton and Leigh.
