In the eyes of the law if a fire door has been propped or wedged open and deemed to endanger life, you could be subject to penalties, including a substantial fine.<\/p><p>Fire doors are an essential part of a buildings Fire prevention strategy and must be closed in order to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. They are specifically designed and manufactured to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through a building, giving people time to evacuate safely.<\/p><p>The second purpose they serve is to slow the Fires progression minimising property damage. Fire doors that are left open allow the Fire to spread, putting everyone in the building at risk.<\/p><p>Open fire doors can cause life-changing consequences to everyone involved.

This cost-effective product is installed at the bottom of any Fire door and has a push down stopper which holds the door open. The unit is battery powered and requires no cabling. It works by \u2018listening\u2019 continuously and upon hearing the Fire alarm releases the stopper to allow the door to return to its closed position.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-83a6276 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"83a6276\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f3273b0\" data-id=\"f3273b0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f98191 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f98191\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The next option, and that preferred by larger care homes or housing Authorities is a Swing-free closer. These are a range of Door closers that are mains powered and linked to the Fire Alarm. The units allow the door to be used in an ordinary fashion and can also be put into a \u2018Hold open\u2019 position. When the Fire alarm is activated these units will release and return the door into the closed position.<\/p><p>Lastly is a Fire Alarm linked, magnetic door retainer. These provide a Magnetic holder which is permanently fixed to the wall, the Fire door is opened to its full extent and the magnet will hold it in place. Again, upon the Fire alarm activating the doors are released. This solution is<br \/>generally installed at the same time as the Fire Alarm. Devices like the above allow residents the freedom to use their properties as they wish, without compromising on Fire safety. Both solutions are completely compliant with UK Fire regulations and can be installed on nearly any type of door.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f61d170\" data-id=\"f61d170\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3da4b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e3da4b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-795x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-569 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-795x1024.png 795w, https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-768x990.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-1192x1536.png 1192w, https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill.png 1570w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 795px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 795\/1024;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-795x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-569\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-795x1024.png 795w, https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-768x990.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill-1192x1536.png 1192w, https:\/\/www.bacsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jay-Drill.png 1570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Installation of a Swing -free bracket to the door frame<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3626436 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3626436\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ea9f8c3\" data-id=\"ea9f8c3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1c7fba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c1c7fba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fire Door Falsehoods<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-537fe73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"537fe73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Below are some of the things we regularly hear, and the facts behind each one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-823e957 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"823e957\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>\u2018You can just paint a door with Fire retardant paint to make it a Fire door\u2019<\/strong><br \/>FALSE: Fire doors are made of fire-tested materials and components, all of which<br \/>are graded and shown on the fire door certificate.
