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

Looking for fire door hold-open devices in Isleworth? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Isleworth and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Isleworth range from shared houses to student accommodation and clinics. 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 Isleworth settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open. Where doors in Isleworth care homes, schools or offices are being wedged open, a hold-open device is the safe fix.

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
• Coordination of alarm interface
• Hold-open and free-swing closers
