Fire door hold-open devices for Cleethorpes buildings
When you book fire door hold-open devices in Cleethorpes, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Cleethorpes, light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and small offices 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.
We coordinate with your fire alarm contractor in Cleethorpes so every hold-open releases when it should. Free-swing closers suit Cleethorpes 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.
Each installation includes:
- Hold-open and free-swing closers
- Record of devices and test results
- Release testing with the alarm
- Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155

Questions
Do you cover DN35 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cleethorpes including DN35, and nearby towns such as Grimsby and Kingston upon Hull. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cleethorpes 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.
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.
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.
