Euro thumb turns on exterior doors

As with all reqiuerements they are not always inforced, i dont think there are any penalties for not complying but the consequences of not doing so speak for themselves. It is put more on the head of local locksmiths that change the locks to try and educate the public rather than the Fire Department, they do try their best but staff shortages don't help.

Will be a requirement of new build properties to have keyless egress but they can't force homeowners to keep them. As I said before, you can do whatever you like in your own home.

There is NO WAY any enforcement can be made against a house or flat in single occupancy - in houses flat in multiple occupancy there is regulation and locks to BS8621  apply

Unless a policeman chasing a perp

a fire officer believing a fire is inside or needs to pass through to a fire

or a

Customs officer

everyone else can be told to bugger orf.

however if you leave a door or window open.....

Only HMO properties require keyless exit by Law of the main entry and exit doors.

 

They are checked by the fire safety officer and ordered to change them if they do not meet current legislation. Internal doors in HMO are

dependent on the particular fire officer and some will advise they be fitted as well others don't seem to mind so it is down to the particular

fire safety office who visits.

 

 

We are doing nice business in key and turn euro cylinders and have been for the last 2 years.

 

Domestic properties even rented are not required to have them but you never know after the Grenfall inquiry they might change the law

for all rented properties.

 

If you own your house then they can only advise.

[Bren]

I believe they are now legal requirement on rented properties.

Not if it is one family only when they are multiple occupancy in a house.

 

I have just spoken to the local landlords housing association and that is the advice that they have been given.
