Working with your alarm contractor
Hard-wired hold-opens need an interface with the fire alarm, which is usually designed and certified by your fire alarm contractor. We fit and commission the door side and coordinate the interface, then test that every device releases when the alarm operates.

They should be tested with the fire alarm as part of the routine testing arrangements. We test them at installation and record the results.
