Fire door hold-open devices in Lisburn, done to the evidence
We provide fire door hold-open devices in Lisburn (BT27 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Lisburn range from houses with integral garages to schools and low-rise blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Free-swing closers suit Lisburn settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open. Where doors in Lisburn 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:
- Hold-open and free-swing closers
- Coordination of alarm interface
- Record of devices and test results
- Release testing with the alarm
Fire door law for Lisburn properties
Lisburn is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Lisburn are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions from Lisburn
Do you work in Lisburn?
Yes, we take on fire door hold-open devices in Lisburn and the surrounding area, including Belfast and Castlereagh. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
Who tests hold-open devices?
They should be tested with the fire alarm as part of the routine testing arrangements. We test them at installation and record the results.
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.
