Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Reigate

From the RH2 district outwards, we cover Reigate and neighbouring towns such as Redhill and Horley for fire door hold-open devices.

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 Reigate.

Questions from Reigate clients

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.

Do you cover the area around Reigate?

Yes. As well as Reigate itself we cover nearby towns including Redhill, Horley and Banstead.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Reigate?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Reigate is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those 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.
