Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Shipley

We provide fire door hold-open devices for buildings in Shipley and the BD18 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. We use the same method for buildings in Shipley.

Questions from Shipley clients

Do you cover the area around Shipley?

Yes. As well as Shipley itself we cover nearby towns including Bradford, Guiseley and Yeadon.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Shipley?

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