Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Stretford: questions

How often should they be tested?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Stretford?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stretford?

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

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.
