Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Burgess Hill

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Burgess Hill and the RH15 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Questions from Burgess Hill clients

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.

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.

Yes. As well as Burgess Hill itself we cover nearby towns including Haywards Heath, Portslade and Hove.

Which fire safety law applies in Burgess Hill?
