Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Walton-on-Thames: questions

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.

Can you price remedial work in Walton-on-Thames from another company's report?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Walton-on-Thames?

Walton-on-Thames 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.

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.
