Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Bushey

Need a fire door hold-open device in Bushey? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Bushey.

Common questions in Bushey

Do you cover the area around Bushey?

Yes. As well as Bushey itself we cover nearby towns including Watford, North Watford and Borehamwood.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bushey?

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