Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Corby

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Corby and the NN17 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Corby

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.

How often should they be tested?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Corby?

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

Can you price remedial work in Corby from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Corby, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
