Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to questions we are commonly asked about our Fire Escape Doors:

Fire exit doors must never be locked in a way that prevents escape during an emergency. However, they can be fitted with secure locking mechanisms—such as panic bars, emergency pads, or alarmed exit devices—that allow fast and unobstructed egress from the inside while maintaining security from the outside. In some cases, electrically controlled locking systems may be used, provided they fail-safe to an open position when the fire alarm is activated or in the event of a power failure. All locking arrangements must comply with relevant fire safety standards and building regulations.

At A&C Maintenance, we offer various panic exit hardware options with manual or electric locking. Our fire door range offers compliant, durable options to get you and your building’s occupants to a place of safety fast.

The number of fire exits required by UK law depends on the size, layout, and use of the building. In general, a minimum of two escape routes is required for most commercial or public buildings to ensure safe evacuation under varying circumstances. Larger buildings, or those accommodating more than 60 occupants per floor, typically require additional exits. A professional fire risk assessment should always be carried out to determine compliance.

Fire exits and escape routes should be inspected on a regular, scheduled basis to ensure they remain safe, accessible, and fully compliant with fire safety regulations.

As a minimum, responsible persons should carry out weekly visual checks to confirm that all fire escape doors, signage, and exit routes are unobstructed and in good working order. These routine inspections help identify common issues, such as blocked routes, faulty door hardware, or damaged signage, before they pose a risk in an emergency. Although this could also be part of a daily routine to ensure that everyone can safely exit the building if they need to.

In addition to weekly checks, more thorough inspections should be conducted monthly or quarterly as part of a broader fire safety maintenance programme. These should assess the functionality of door mechanisms, alarm connections, and any electrical locking systems, especially for doors integrated into a fire alarm interface.

All checks should be documented, and any issues should be rectified without delay. A professional fire risk assessment should always be carried out, ensuring a legally compliant and safe environment for staff, visitors, and occupants.

A fire exit is a designated route or doorway intended to provide safe and efficient evacuation in the event of a fire or during an emergency, such as a fire. Typically marked with clear signage and equipped with compliant emergency hardware, fire exits are a critical part of any building’s fire safety strategy. In commercial and industrial settings, fire escape doors are specifically designed to remain accessible and unobstructed, enabling rapid egress and reducing the risk to occupants during evacuation.
