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