Common questions in Maghull

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 work in occupied buildings in Maghull?

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

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 Maghull?

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