Fire door hold-open devices in Rhyl

Fire door hold-open devices in Rhyl: what's involved

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Rhyl, we offer fire door hold-open devices with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Rhyl protect escape routes in schools, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Free-swing closers suit Rhyl settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open. Where doors in Rhyl 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Record of devices and test results
• Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155
• Coordination of alarm interface
• Release testing with the alarm

Rules and responsibilities in Rhyl

Fire door work in Rhyl follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Rhyl, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Where fire door hold-open devices fit in Rhyl
