Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Bognor Regis

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Bognor Regis and the PO21 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Bognor Regis FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bognor Regis?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Bognor Regis?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

How often should they be tested?

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