Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Rushden

Rushden 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 Rushden

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Rushden?

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

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.

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.

Yes. As well as Rushden itself we cover nearby towns including Wellingborough, Kettering and Bedford.
