Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Swinton

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Swinton and the M27 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Swinton.

Common questions in Swinton

How often should they be tested?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Swinton?

Swinton 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.

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Swinton?

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.
