Fire and Insurance Regulations UK
Whether you’re a landlord, homeowner, property manager or tenant, it’s important to be aware of the fire and insurance regulations in the UK. Often, specific locks are required to ensure that fire safety and insurance policy small prints are not compromised. Our specialist locksmith team in Hythe can provide further information and help you remain compliant. Here’s what you need to know.
Fire Regulation:
Fire regulations are designed to keep people safe, and strict rules are in place to make this possible. Property locks play a key role in allowing people to get in and out of properties safely. That’s why keyless locks are necessary for single entry buildings. This allows for an easy escape if a fire breaks out, and can be achieved by using deadlocking night latches or Euro deadlocks/sashlocks with Euro thumbturn cylinders. Both allow key entry from outside for security reasons, but have a knob or lever handle inside for fire safety purposes.
Thought must also be given to communal entrances. These require non deadlocking locks, meaning the mechanism can be overridden from the inside, allowing people to leave a building even if the door slams shut in front of them. Speak to our Hythe locksmiths today for advice.
Insurance Regulation:
Taking out contents insurance is a great idea. But unless you have the right locks, your policy could be invalid. Be sure to check the small print and contact our Hythe locksmith for new fixtures and fittings if necessary. Your exit door will typically require a three point multi-point locking strip or, if it’s a wooden door, a five-lever British Standard mortice lock with kitemark BS3621. Ground floor windows must be key locking too. Many insurance providers are also introducing star rating cylinder requirements that indicate the quality of a product, so check your policy for this and be sure to have the correct locks fitted.
Here at Absolute Security Locksmiths in Hythe, we’ll help you comply with all the latest fire and insurance regulations, so get in touch with us today.
