Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Kenilworth

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Kenilworth and the CV8 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.

Common questions in Kenilworth

How often should they be tested?

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

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 Kenilworth from another company's report?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kenilworth?

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