Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Worksop

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Worksop, our fire door hold-open devices follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Worksop: questions

How often should they be tested?

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

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.

Do you cover the area around Worksop?

Yes. As well as Worksop itself we cover nearby towns including Retford, Staveley and Mansfield.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Worksop?

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