Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Aldershot: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Aldershot?

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

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

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

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.

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.
