Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Farnborough

From the GU14 district outwards, we cover Farnborough and neighbouring towns such as Camberley and Aldershot 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 Farnborough.

Farnborough FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Farnborough?

Farnborough 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.

Do you cover the area around Farnborough?

Yes. As well as Farnborough itself we cover nearby towns including Camberley, Aldershot and Fleet.

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.

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.
