Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Margate: questions

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 Margate?

Yes. As well as Margate itself we cover nearby towns including Saint Peters, Broadstairs and Ramsgate.

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 to buildings in Margate?

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