Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Coatbridge

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Coatbridge and the ML5 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: 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.

Coatbridge FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply in Coatbridge?

No. Coatbridge 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.

How often should they be tested?

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

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

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

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.
