Questions from Gorseinon clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Gorseinon?

No. Gorseinon is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Gorseinon?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Gorseinon 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.
