Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in West Bromwich

From the B70 district outwards, we cover West Bromwich and neighbouring towns such as Smethwick and Wednesbury for fire door hold-open devices.

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 West Bromwich.

Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in West Bromwich: questions

Can hold-open devices be used on flat entrance doors?

Generally not on flat entrance doors in residential blocks. They are mainly used on corridor and cross-corridor doors in other buildings, subject to the fire risk assessment.

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in West Bromwich?

West Bromwich 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.
