Questions from Sheffield 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.

Do fire exit doors need panic bars?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally used where members of the public or people unfamiliar with the building use the exit. Emergency exit devices to BS EN 179 can be suitable where users are trained staff. The fire risk assessment decides.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sheffield?

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

Yes. As well as Sheffield itself we cover nearby towns including Burngreave, Rotherham and Dronfield.
