Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Weston-super-Mare

Need a fire door hold-open device in Weston-super-Mare? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Weston-super-Mare.

Common questions in Weston-super-Mare

Do you work in occupied buildings in Weston-super-Mare?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Weston-super-Mare?

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

How often should they be tested?

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