Fire and Insurance Regulations UK
Here at Absolute Security Locksmiths in Hawkinge, we’re dedicated to helping you meet all the latest fire and insurance regulations. The wrong locks could compromise both the safety of your building and any insurance policies you hold, so make sure each and every entry/exit point has the correct fittings. Our specialist team is always ready to help homeowners, property managers and landlords alike, so don’t hesitate to get in touch. Here’s what you need to know.
Fire Regulation:
Fire safety is of paramount importance which is why rules are in place regarding the entry and exit to a property. Single entry properties, such as a first floor flat, require a keyless lock. This allows for an easy escape during a fire and can be achieved with either a non deadlocking night latch or Euro deadlocks/sashlocks with Euro thumbturn cylinders. Both options enable the use of a key outside the property for security and a knob/lever handle inside for fire safety.
Communal entrances must also have non deadlocking locks. These have a mechanism which can be overridden from the inside to prevent people from being trapped if the building is on fire. Speak to our Hawkinge locksmiths today to find out more.
Insurance Regulation:
With regards to content insurance you must take the correct steps to prevent theft, loss or damage. This includes fitting the right locks. Exit doors, for example, are usually required to have a three point multi-point locking strip or a five lever British Standard mortice lock with kitemark BS3621 for wooden doors. Ground floor windows must be secured with a key locking system. Look out for insurance policies that require start ratings for cylinders, as this could influence which lock you choose too.
