Fire door hold-open devices in Wood Green, N22

Fire door hold-open devices for Wood Green buildings

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wood Green, we offer fire door hold-open devices with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Wood Green range from shared houses to purpose-built blocks of flats and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Where doors in Wood Green care homes, schools or offices are being wedged open, a hold-open device is the safe fix. Free-swing closers suit Wood Green 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155
• Release testing with the alarm
• Record of devices and test results
• Coordination of alarm interface
