Common questions in Southampton

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.

Do you cover the area around Southampton?

Yes. As well as Southampton itself we cover nearby towns including Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Southampton?

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