Common questions in Denton

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.

How often should fire exits be checked?

Many responsible persons check them weekly as part of the fire log, with a detailed check at least annually.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Denton?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Denton?

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.
