Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wallasey

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Wallasey, our fire door hold-open devices follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Questions from Wallasey clients

Which fire safety law applies in Wallasey?

Wallasey 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.

How often should they be tested?

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

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.
