Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Heswall

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

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 Heswall.
