External Fire Doors FAQs

How do I know what external fire doors I need?

External fire doors don’t play the same role as internal fire doors, as they don’t stop a fire from spreading through a building. However, as the doors that people will be using to exit a building in the event of a fire, they still need to meet certain requirements, such as illuminated exit signs and ease of use.

Is Scutum London able to supply different designs of external fire doors?

Yes – there are a number of reasons that you might want a particular look or finish for your external fire doors.

In an emergency, any delays can represent a further risk to serious injury or death for those attempting to get out of a building on fire. External fire doors are there to make sure that escaping a building on fire can be achieved as quickly and easily as possible and therefore should form an essential part of your overall fire safety strategy.

Are fire doors a legal requirement?

The legislation and guidance surrounding external fire doors covers only how they should be opened (they should never be locked, as that would slow down escape, but need to be opened from the inside with the use of push bars or similar devices), how they are signposted and that they should never be blocked. Scutum London can help you make sure that any external fire doors at your premises meet all the necessary requirements.
