Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Whitefield

Responsible persons in Whitefield can book fire door hold-open devices with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Whitefield.
