Fire Exit Door Checks in Sevenoaks: questions

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.

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Sevenoaks?

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 Sevenoaks?

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