Market Harborough FAQs

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.

Why won't my fire door close properly?

Common causes are a closer set too weak, a latch out of line with the keep, dropped hinges, a seal binding at the edge, or flooring that has raised the threshold. We find the cause before adjusting the closer.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Market Harborough?

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