Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Totton? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Totton and surrounding parts of Hampshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Totton.
