Fire Safety

We have been doing a lot of work recently where public use buildings have just had fire safety checks. The business owners have been surprised to find that standard locks were not acceptable. These have had to be replaced with thumb turn locks, i.e. locks that will allow persons to escape the building without the need for keys on the inside. Obviously, these lock as normal on the outside. Now would be a great time to have your locks checked as a fire safety precaution and we are happy to help and advise.

Remember, whether or not your doors are unlocked for all the time your business is open, it might still be that thumb turn locks are required for your insurance purposes. Nobody wants to be in the situation where these would be required, but it would be even worse to find insurance does not cover the event. Thanks for reading.
