Questions from Salford clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Salford?

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

Do you cover the area around Salford?

Yes. As well as Salford itself we cover nearby towns including Eccles, Old Trafford and Manchester.

Do signs go on both sides of the door?

Self-closing fire doors are generally signed on both faces. Cupboard and riser doors are usually signed on the outside only.

Do all fire doors need a sign?

Most do. Self-closing fire doors usually need fire door keep shut signs; doors to cupboards and risers usually need keep locked shut; doors on hold-open devices need automatic fire door signs. Some doors, such as flat entrance doors and hotel bedroom doors, are commonly treated differently.
