Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Littlehampton: questions

How often should they be tested?

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

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

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Littlehampton?

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