Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Rossendale

Responsible persons in Rossendale can book fire door hold-open devices with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

Questions from Rossendale clients

Do you cover the area around Rossendale?

Yes. As well as Rossendale itself we cover nearby towns including Rawtenstall, Accrington and Bury.

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.

How often should they be tested?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Rossendale?

Rossendale is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
