Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Egham

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Egham? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Egham and surrounding parts of Surrey, 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. We use the same method for buildings in Egham.

Egham FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Egham?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Egham?

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

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.
