Fire Door Signage in Nottinghamshire: questions
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.
Is a missing sign a serious defect?
It will normally be recorded as a fail or advisory. It is quick and cheap to fix, so it is best done on the same visit.
Which fire safety law applies in Nottinghamshire?
Nottinghamshire is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Nottinghamshire?
