If it is for yourself, it would be up to you to decide do you want to buy new cushions for it, if you are selling it, you could sell it without cushions. The cane furniture itself does not need a fire label, only upholstered furniture made after 1950 requires a label

As your current smoke alarms are 8 years old (Life expectancy is 10 years) I would suggest you change all 3 smoke alarms as well as buying a heat alarm (All must be the same brand) Safelincs do supply smoke and heat alarms Click here

I was waiting "a few days" just to make sure. Debbie asked the question 7 months ago, she only made the two posts and has never been back since. I can only suggest you contact your local trading standards office to see if they can help.

As you know the 1111 is obsolete and you will have to buy a new smoke alarm, mains smoke alarms come with suitable base, so yes, you will have to change it, if you have any other Deta smoke alarms, it would be wise to change those too, and get all of the same brand. Safelincs supply a variety of mains smoke alarms Click here

You should press and hold the test/silence button for 4 seconds, it should then "chirp" 4 times and the red LED should flash for upto 30 seconds, after this it will revert back to normal. If you have just purchased it and it does not do as suggested, take it back from where you got it.

SantaCruzDad, Your replacement detector comes with a new base as it is intended that you change that too. It is unlikely the poster above you will reply as they only made the one post back in 2020
-
Which model do you have and what is flashing? (The detector or the RF module)
-
What do you mean by od? what did it do? what make and model is it? how old is it?

Ask the technician to check for carbon monoxide for you.

Scotland has a law that states "Every home in Scotland must have interlinked fire alarms by February 2022" For further information check out the Scottish Parliament website page for fire safety Click Here Safelincs can supply a range of smoke alarms that comply to this. Click Here

fire door not closing when latch rests against strike

Yes. Do make a note for this time next year to change the batteries in all your alarms that require batteries.

CO2 Detector beeped 4 times. However hasnt beeped since.
green-foam replied to a topic in Carbon Monoxide Alarms
It would appear to be highly probable that the Carbon Monoxide detector activated due to the use of paint stripper. Once the property is well ventilated and the alarm is silent there is no more that can be done, but DO test the alarm by pressing its test button. As an aside, CO2 is carbon dioxide, it is what gives "pop" its fizz CO is carbon monoxide and is lethal. -
Double action doors in catering area
green-foam replied to JMFORTUNE's topic in Fire Doors and Accessories
If by "Rubber edgings" you mean similar to the picture below (I couldn't find a decent picture of an opaque one) these are actually "finger guards" (So usually children) can not get their fingers trapped as the door closes, most, not all are NOT fire resistant. If they would be allowed for your purpose, I do not know. -
I have some wireless bluethooth EI firealarms and need some more
green-foam replied to a topic in Smoke Alarms
Do you have the model number? as safelincs do not have any smoke alarms listed that use bluetooth, but they do have radio interlinked smoke alarms. -
Yes, as there will be no exposed wires.
-
I would suggest you install a carbon monoxide alarm in accordance with its instructions close to the boiler, and an optical smoke alarm in the loft as a minimum, better still use interlinked devices and have their counterparts on the landing, as you may not hear them if they are in the loft.
-
What happens when you press the test button? If the unit is identical to the others, and they are all the same age, smoke alarms are not user serviceable, so the only option would be to change it.

Emergency override switches (Green Box) - testing
green-foam replied to Meady's topic in Fire Risk Assessments
If all the boxes are mounted "Nose to tail" I can see this causing a problem as some "boxes" need to be reset by inserting a key in the bottom, so yes they should not be mounted in such a manor. As for having the override interlinked to the fire alarm, if the override was needed but not an emergency then what would be the point of setting off the fire alarm to release a door? Red/green colour blindness is the reason each "box" has written on it what it is for. The only colour blind person I have met could read quite easily. -
If it has now stopped bleeping, and still works when you press the test button, you have had a false alarm.
