Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Halesowen

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Halesowen, our fire door hold-open devices follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Halesowen: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Halesowen?

Halesowen is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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

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

How often should they be tested?

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