Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door hold-open devices with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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.

Common questions in Great Yarmouth

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Great Yarmouth?

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

Do you cover the area around Great Yarmouth?

Yes. As well as Great Yarmouth itself we cover nearby towns including Lowestoft, Norwich and Bowthorpe.

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.
