Common questions in Ampthill

Can fire doors be held open?

Only with a device designed to release the door automatically when the fire alarm sounds, such as an acoustic or alarm-linked electromagnetic hold-open. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable on fire doors.

Do you cover the area around Ampthill?

Yes. As well as Ampthill itself we cover nearby towns including Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ampthill?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Ampthill is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

My door slams. Is that a fault?

Yes. A slamming door wears hinges and frames and can injure users. The closing speed and latching action can usually be adjusted.
