Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Warwickshire: questions
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.
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 work in occupied buildings in Warwickshire?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Warwickshire can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
