King's Lynn FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in King's Lynn?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. King's Lynn 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 King's Lynn?

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

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.

Can hold-open devices be used on flat entrance doors?

Generally not on flat entrance doors in residential blocks. They are mainly used on corridor and cross-corridor doors in other buildings, subject to the fire risk assessment.
