Fire Exit Door Checks in Poole: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Poole?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Poole?

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

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.

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.
