Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Gainsborough

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Gainsborough and the DN21 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Gainsborough FAQs

How often should they be tested?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Gainsborough?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Gainsborough?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
