Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Kingswinford

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Kingswinford, West Midlands: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Kingswinford.
