Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wallsend

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Wallsend? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Wallsend and surrounding parts of Tyne and Wear, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Wallsend.

Common questions in Wallsend

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Wallsend?

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

Do you cover the area around Wallsend?

Yes. As well as Wallsend itself we cover nearby towns including Hebburn, Jarrow and Felling.

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.
