Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Litherland

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

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 Litherland.

Litherland FAQs

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Litherland?

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.

How often should they be tested?

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

Can hold-open devices be used on flat entrance doors?

Generally not on flat entrance doors in residential blocks. They are mainly used on corridor and cross-corridor doors in other buildings, subject to the fire risk assessment.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Litherland?

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