Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Tamworth

Tamworth landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door hold-open devices with straightforward reports and fixed 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 Tamworth clients

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 Tamworth?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Tamworth 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.

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

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