Common questions in Truro

Do fire exit doors need panic bars?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally used where members of the public or people unfamiliar with the building use the exit. Emergency exit devices to BS EN 179 can be suitable where users are trained staff. The fire risk assessment decides.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Truro?

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

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

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