Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wishaw: questions

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Wishaw?

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.

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.
