Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Gwynedd we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Gwynedd buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Gwynedd has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
Which fire door rules apply in Gwynedd?
Because Gwynedd is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Gwynedd comes from your fire risk assessment.
