Fire Exit Door Checks in March

Responsible persons in March can book fire exit door checks with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

A fire exit door check confirms that every final exit door opens easily in the direction of escape without a key, that its panic or emergency hardware works, and that the route beyond it is clear and signed. We use the same method for buildings in March.

March FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in March?

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

How often should fire exits be checked?

Many responsible persons check them weekly as part of the fire log, with a detailed check at least annually.

Can a fire exit be locked?

It must be openable from inside without a key at all times the building is occupied. Security locks that need a key from inside are not acceptable on escape routes.

Can you price remedial work in March from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in March, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
