Fire door hold-open devices: our service in Rhosllannerchrugog
Our fire door hold-open devices service covers Rhosllannerchrugog and the wider Clwyd area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Rhosllannerchrugog, family homes after loft conversions, care homes and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Free-swing closers suit Rhosllannerchrugog settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open. Where doors in Rhosllannerchrugog care homes, schools or offices are being wedged open, a hold-open device is the safe fix.
Why doors get wedged
Busy corridors, care homes and schools have doors that people need open all day. If there is no safe way to hold them, they get wedged, which defeats the door completely. A hold-open device or free-swing closer solves the problem properly.
On a typical job that means:
- Assessment of door use and alarm system
- Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155
- Record of devices and test results
- Release testing with the alarm

Questions
Do you cover LL14 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Rhosllannerchrugog including LL14, and nearby towns such as Wrexham and Buckley. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do hold-open devices need the fire alarm?
Hard-wired devices are released by the fire alarm system. Some battery units detect the alarm sound instead; they must be suitable for the building and its alarm.
Is it legal to wedge open a fire door?
Wedging a fire door open defeats its purpose and is likely to breach the duties under fire safety law. A hold-open device that releases on alarm is the safe alternative.
