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.

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Walkden?

Walkden is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
