Offices, shops and hotels in St Austell can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in St Austell, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
As standard, the work covers:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
