Common questions in Crewe

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Crewe?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Crewe?

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

Are fire exit doors fire doors?

Not always. Final exit doors to open air often are not fire-rated, but they must still open easily and be maintained.
