Getting fire door hold-open devices right in Liverpool
Looking for fire door hold-open devices in Liverpool? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Liverpool, fire door work covers everything from student accommodation to clinics. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Free-swing closers suit Liverpool settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open. Where doors in Liverpool care homes, schools or offices are being wedged open, a hold-open device is the safe fix.
Working with your alarm contractor
Hard-wired hold-opens need an interface with the fire alarm, which is usually designed and certified by your fire alarm contractor. We fit and commission the door side and coordinate the interface, then test that every device releases when the alarm operates.
What you get:
- Coordination of alarm interface
- Assessment of door use and alarm system
- Record of devices and test results
- Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155
Rules and responsibilities in Liverpool
The rules that apply to fire doors in Liverpool 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.
Where a Liverpool 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.
Where fire door hold-open devices fit in Liverpool

Questions from Liverpool
Do you work in Liverpool?
Yes, we take on fire door hold-open devices in Liverpool and the surrounding area, including Birkenhead and Wallasey. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Liverpool?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Who tests hold-open devices?
They should be tested with the fire alarm as part of the routine testing arrangements. We test them at installation and record the results.
