Common questions in Barking

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Barking?

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.

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 Barking?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Barking 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.
