Hello I'm looking for advice on companies who could quote to complete work to install new external facing fire doors. Currently we have two doors that open inwards thus capping capacity to 60. We are applying for capital and would appreciate any guidance on who to contact. We are in East Midlands if that narrows things down, Thanks D
Hello
We are an arts venue that have recently rearranged our spaces. One space we want to use for hires was originally an office and has two single inward facing firedoors. The doors are situated 14m away from one another. The room is 95m2 .
Looking in capacity I am led to believe the cap would be 60 as the doors open inward. For the next event we can cap it at 60 but we are looking at what needs to be done to safely increase the capacity.
Are the options:
1. Change one door to outward facing or would both need to be outward.
2. Man the space with fire marshals who can latch the doors open then close after evacuation to serve as firedoor.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
DQUAD
