Fire door hold-open devices in Tyldesley

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

When you book fire door hold-open devices in Tyldesley, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Buildings in and around Tyldesley range from small blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

We coordinate with your fire alarm contractor in Tyldesley so every hold-open releases when it should. Free-swing closers suit Tyldesley settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open.

Why doors get wedged

Busy corridors, care homes and schools have doors that people need open all day. If there is no safe way to hold them, they get wedged, which defeats the door completely. A hold-open device or free-swing closer solves the problem properly.

On a typical job that means:

• Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155
• Hold-open and free-swing closers
• Coordination of alarm interface
• Record of devices and test results
