Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Leatherhead

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Leatherhead and the KT22 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Leatherhead FAQs

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 Leatherhead from another company's report?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Leatherhead?

Leatherhead is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.
