Questions from Darlington clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Darlington?

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

What closer does a fire door need?

A closer tested to BS EN 1154 with a power size suited to the door's width and weight, and evidence it can be used on the door type. Concealed closers need specific test evidence for the door.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Darlington from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Darlington, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
