Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Morecambe? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Morecambe and surrounding parts of Lancashire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Morecambe: questions

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.

Do you cover the area around Morecambe?

Yes. As well as Morecambe itself we cover nearby towns including Lancaster, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Morecambe?

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

How often should they be tested?

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