Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Redhill

Need a fire door hold-open device in Redhill? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Redhill.

Common questions in Redhill

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Redhill?

Redhill 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.

Do acoustic hold-open devices work with any alarm?

They listen for the alarm sounder, so the sounder must be loud enough at the door. We check the sound level and the alarm type before recommending one.
