Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Surbiton: questions

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Surbiton?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Surbiton?

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.

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.
