What fire door hold-open devices in Edmonton should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Edmonton, we offer fire door hold-open devices with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Edmonton protect escape routes in clinics, shared houses and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We coordinate with your fire alarm contractor in Edmonton so every hold-open releases when it should. Free-swing closers suit Edmonton settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open.
Types of hold-open
Electromagnetic door holders are wall or floor magnets wired to the fire alarm. Hold-open closers combine the closer and the hold-open in one unit. Free-swing closers let the door move freely and close it on alarm. Some battery units listen for the alarm sound; these must be suitable for the alarm system and the building. The right choice depends on the door, the alarm and how people use the space.
What you get:
- Release testing with the alarm
- Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155
- Assessment of door use and alarm system
- Record of devices and test results
What the rules say for Edmonton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Edmonton are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. Enforcement of fire safety law in Edmonton sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Edmonton block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Is Edmonton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Edmonton in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Tottenham. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Edmonton 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.
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.
What is the difference between a hold-open and a free-swing closer?
A hold-open keeps the door at a fixed open position. A free-swing closer lets the door move freely, as if no closer were fitted, until the alarm sounds.
