Questions from Bangor clients

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 in Bangor?

No. Bangor is in Northern Ireland, where the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 apply.

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.
