Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Tonbridge

From the TN9 district outwards, we cover Tonbridge and neighbouring towns such as Royal Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks for fire door hold-open devices.

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.

Common questions in Tonbridge

Can you price remedial work in Tonbridge from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Tonbridge, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

How often should they be tested?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tonbridge?

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