Fire Door Closer Repairs in Merseyside: questions
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 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 Merseyside?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Merseyside is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Merseyside?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Merseyside can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
