Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Swansea

Swansea landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door hold-open devices with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

In short: 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.

Questions from Swansea clients

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.

How often should they be tested?

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

Can you price remedial work in Swansea from another company's report?

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

Does regulation 10 apply in Swansea?

No. Swansea is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.
