Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Paisley

Responsible persons in Paisley can book fire door hold-open devices with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Questions from Paisley clients

Which fire safety law applies in Paisley?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Paisley?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.
