Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Caerphilly

From the CF83 district outwards, we cover Caerphilly and neighbouring towns such as Risca and Pontypridd 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 Caerphilly.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Caerphilly: questions

Do acoustic hold-open devices work with any alarm?

They listen for the alarm sounder, so the sounder must be loud enough at the door. We check the sound level and the alarm type before recommending one.

Which fire safety law applies in Caerphilly?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.

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.

Do you cover the area around Caerphilly?

Yes. As well as Caerphilly itself we cover nearby towns including Risca, Pontypridd and Cardiff.
