Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Ashington

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

Common questions in Ashington

How often should they be tested?

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

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

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ashington?

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