Fire door hold-open devices for Llanelli buildings
If you need fire door hold-open devices in Llanelli, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Llanelli, care homes, small blocks of flats and schools 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.
Where doors in Llanelli care homes, schools or offices are being wedged open, a hold-open device is the safe fix. Free-swing closers suit Llanelli settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open.
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.
What you get:
- Release testing with the alarm
- Record of devices and test results
- Assessment of door use and alarm system
- Hold-open and free-swing closers
What the rules say for Llanelli
Because Llanelli is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Llanelli comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions from Llanelli
Is Llanelli within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Llanelli in Dyfed and neighbouring towns such as Gorseinon. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Llanelli building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
