Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Nailsea

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Nailsea, Somerset: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Nailsea.

Nailsea FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Nailsea?

Nailsea is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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 work in occupied buildings in Nailsea?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Nailsea can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
