Fire door hold-open devices in Yeadon, done to the evidence
We provide fire door hold-open devices in Yeadon (LS19 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Yeadon, small offices, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions 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.
Free-swing closers suit Yeadon settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open. Where doors in Yeadon 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:
- Hold-open and free-swing closers
- Coordination of alarm interface
- Record of devices and test results
- Release testing with the alarm

Questions from Yeadon
Is Yeadon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Yeadon in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Guiseley. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Yeadon 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.
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.
