Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Doncaster

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Doncaster? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Doncaster and surrounding parts of South Yorkshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.

Common questions in Doncaster

Can you price remedial work in Doncaster from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Doncaster, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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 Doncaster?

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