External fire exit doors play a vital role in building safety. Unlike fire doors that prevent fire spread, fire exit doors facilitate safe evacuation during emergencies. They must be easily accessible, well-managed, and adhere to regulatory standards for permanent installation.
Features of a well-designed fire exit door
While fire exit doors share similarities with fire doors, they don't need the same fire-resistant construction. However, they must open in the direction of escape, be easily opened in emergencies, be fitted with emergency access devices, be clearly marked, and be identifiable with proper signage and lighting.

Determining the need for external fire exit doors
There are specific regulations for fire exit doors that have been established to enhance the safety of buildings, mandating numerous exits, distinct escape routes, and thoughtful consideration of the building's occupancy and configuration.
These guidelines are designed to help people evacuate safely and swiftly in the event of a fire. Ensuring these doors are regularly tested and maintained is essential for keeping them working as they should and that they adhere to rigorous safety standards.
