Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Sudbury
Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Sudbury, our fire door hold-open devices follow the same door-by-door method and report format.
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.
