Questions from Berkhamsted clients

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Berkhamsted?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Berkhamsted can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Berkhamsted?

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