Questions from Royal Tunbridge Wells clients

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.

Do you cover the area around Royal Tunbridge Wells?

Yes. As well as Royal Tunbridge Wells itself we cover nearby towns including Tonbridge, Crowborough and Sevenoaks.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Royal Tunbridge Wells?

Royal Tunbridge Wells 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.
