Fire door hold-open devices in Stourport-on-Severn, done to the evidence
When you book fire door hold-open devices in Stourport-on-Severn, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Stourport-on-Severn has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We coordinate with your fire alarm contractor in Stourport-on-Severn so every hold-open releases when it should. Free-swing closers suit Stourport-on-Severn settings where residents or pupils find doors hard to open.
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:
- Electromagnetic holders to BS EN 1155
- Record of devices and test results
- Hold-open and free-swing closers
- Release testing with the alarm

Is it legal to wedge open a fire door?
