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 Romford.

Romford FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Romford?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Romford 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.

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 Romford?

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