We offer proprietors of new build or existing homes, approved, reliable and affordable means to comply with fire regulations and provide the best for their residents.

As a specialist company, we are experts in our field, giving customers the assurance that our systems will work, are compliant with Fire, DDA and CSCI requirements, and are installed the latest standards. We can also give informed advice on the relative benefits of technology options available across the market.

The majority of our installation work is retro-fit to operational care facilities. We are very conscious of this sensitive environment and we make every effort to make our presence a positive experience for both residents and staff. All our installers are employees of the company and are CRB checked.

In many care homes, fire regulations require almost every door to be self-closing. While this is important from a fire safety perspective, it limits the choice of residents to keep their doors open, hampers their mobility and makes additional work for staff having to help residents into and out of their rooms. Furthermore, consequent damage by trolleys, hoists, etc. adds significant and tangible costs.

Invariably doors get wedged open but such practices are highly dangerous and can lead to criminal prosecutions.

To date many proprietors have fitted hold open devices, either battery powered units that "listen" for an alarm or magnetic holders pinning doors back against the nearest wall. The issue with such devices is that they look institutional and many residents are unable to manage the complex release mechanisms, limiting their independence and right to privacy.

Holdfire systems are designed to overcome these issues and offer discreet, non institutional devices that are easily operable by older people and those with disabilities.

Holdfire offer two solutions, a simple concealed magnetic Door Holder and Carefree, the ultimate solution for residential care.
