Understanding Rules for Double Fire Exit Doors
Your external fire exit door is really important when it comes to getting people out safely during emergencies, giving everyone extra minutes to escape. Getting it installed correctly matters, because it can make a big difference when things get serious. While fire doors are there to keep the fire and smoke from spreading, emergency exit doors are all about helping people get out fast. Staying up-to-date with the latest regulations is key, especially with the implementation of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 in January 2023.
Key Features of Double Fire Exit Doors
Double fire exit doors, while sharing some characteristics with fire doors, have distinct roles. They must comply with regulations, open in the direction of escape, and allow easy, immediate opening during emergencies. Proper marking, identification, and lighting are crucial for helping people quickly recognise double fire doors.
