Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Meikle Earnock: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Meikle Earnock?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

Do you cover the area around Meikle Earnock?

Yes. As well as Meikle Earnock itself we cover nearby towns including Hamilton, Motherwell and Wishaw.

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.

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.
