Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Loughborough

From the LE12 district outwards, we cover Loughborough and neighbouring towns such as Coalville and Leicester for fire door hold-open devices.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Loughborough.
