Hold-open system maintenance

Hold-open systems are subject to inspection in accordance with the applicable proofs of usability — monthly by the operator, annually by a specialist contractor. Failing this obligation means loss of insurance cover in a damage event and personal liability. We deliver compliant maintenance — completely documented, reliably scheduled.

Hold-open system maintenance

Two levels, one compliant outcome.

Maintenance of hold-open systems consists of two levels: the monthly function test by the operator (press the smoke test button, check closing behaviour, log book entry) and the annual expert inspection by a specialist contractor. The latter covers measurement of smoke-detector sensitivity, magnet holding force, closing speed, trigger time, battery status and wiring. We perform the annual expert inspection — optionally with training of your staff for the monthly self-inspection.

Variants

Which variant fits depends on the installation context, the existing building and the fire-protection concept — we advise per project.

Standard configuration

Cost-efficient solution for the most common installation contexts — tested systems from established manufacturers.

On request

Bespoke configuration

For non-standard sizes, installation contexts or higher requirements driven by the fire-protection concept or expert reports.

Existing buildings & retrofit

Recertification of existing components or phased replacement — coordinated around live operations.

All prices excl. VAT. Maintenance contracts are quoted on a per-unit basis.

Where we work

We cover every typical building type — from residential to industrial complexes with hundreds of components per site.

01

Residential

Apartment buildings, stairwells, transitions to boiler rooms and underground garages — usually with smoke-protection properties.

02

Industry & logistics

Separation of production, storage and administration plus protection of mechanically loaded plant.

03

Public buildings

Schools, hospitals and administrative buildings under NRW special-buildings regulations — often combined with hold-open systems.
