Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Rugby

Looking for a fire door hold-open device in Rugby? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Rugby and surrounding parts of Warwickshire, 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 Rugby.

Common questions in Rugby

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Rugby?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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 Rugby?

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