Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Newton Mearns

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Newton Mearns and the G77 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

Newton Mearns FAQs

Do you cover the area around Newton Mearns?

Yes. As well as Newton Mearns itself we cover nearby towns including Paisley, Rutherglen and East Kilbride.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Newton Mearns?

No. Newton Mearns is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
