Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Redcar

From the TS10 district outwards, we cover Redcar and neighbouring towns such as Middlesbrough and Hartlepool for fire door hold-open devices.

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 Redcar.

Common questions in Redcar

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Redcar?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Redcar?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Redcar can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

How often should they be tested?

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