What fire door hold-open devices in Bedworth should include
From the CV12 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door hold-open devices across Bedworth for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Bedworth protect escape routes in small offices, schools and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Free-swing closers suit Bedworth settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open. Where doors in Bedworth 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Coordination of alarm interface
- Hold-open and free-swing closers
- Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155
- Release testing with the alarm
Which fire door rules apply in Bedworth?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bedworth 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 Bedworth 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 Bedworth
Do you work in Bedworth?
Yes, we take on fire door hold-open devices in Bedworth and the surrounding area, including Nuneaton and Coventry. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Bedworth?
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.
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.
