Questions from Whitehaven clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Whitehaven?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Whitehaven?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Why won't my fire door close properly?

Common causes are a closer set too weak, a latch out of line with the keep, dropped hinges, a seal binding at the edge, or flooring that has raised the threshold. We find the cause before adjusting the closer.
