Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Chapeltown

From the S35 district outwards, we cover Chapeltown and neighbouring towns such as Burngreave and Rotherham for fire door hold-open devices.

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 Chapeltown.
