Questions from Gosport 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 to buildings in Gosport?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Gosport?

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

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.
