Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Tyldesley: questions

How often should they be tested?

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

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.

Can you price remedial work in Tyldesley from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Tyldesley, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Which fire safety law applies in Tyldesley?

Tyldesley 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.
