Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Tynemouth

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Tynemouth and the NE30 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. We use the same method for buildings in Tynemouth.

Questions from Tynemouth clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Tynemouth?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tynemouth?

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