Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Elgin

Responsible persons in Elgin can book fire door hold-open devices with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Elgin.

Questions from Elgin clients

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.

Do you cover the area around Elgin?

Yes. As well as Elgin itself we cover nearby towns including Inverness, Aberdeen and Arbroath.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Elgin?

No. Elgin is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
