Questions from Waltham Abbey clients

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Waltham Abbey?

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