Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Wednesfield: questions

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Wednesfield?

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