Grantham FAQs

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.

Do you cover the area around Grantham?

Yes. As well as Grantham itself we cover nearby towns including Newark on Trent, Melton Mowbray and Stamford.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Grantham?

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

How often should they be tested?

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