Fire Door Closer Repairs in Berkshire: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Berkshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Berkshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
