Guest Sam Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hi my Grandma just moved into a new build house with an internal garage there is a fire door between the kitchen and the garage and then the ‘back door’ of the house is in the Garage. The back door obviously has a lock but my grandma wants to put a lock on the internal fire door as well I have said she shouldn’t do this as it is a fire door but I wondered if she insisted if there are any implications for doing this I.e affecting insurance? I have read that fire doors can not be locked but unsure if this is relevant to a commercial property only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 There is nothing stopping you locking this door, although it would be advisable to have a lock that can be opened from the inside without a key to allow emergency escape. The fitting of the lock should not compromise the integrity of the fire door so should follow the door manufacturers instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
