Fire door hold-open devices for Burngreave buildings
Looking for fire door hold-open devices in Burngreave? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Burngreave and the wider South Yorkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Burngreave has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, small blocks of flats and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We coordinate with your fire alarm contractor in Burngreave so every hold-open releases when it should. Free-swing closers suit Burngreave 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:
- Coordination of alarm interface
- Record of devices and test results
- Release testing with the alarm
- Hold-open and free-swing closers
Fire door law for Burngreave properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Burngreave 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 Burngreave 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.

Questions from Burngreave
Do you work in Burngreave?
Yes, we take on fire door hold-open devices in Burngreave and the surrounding area, including Sheffield and Rotherham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Burngreave?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
