Guest Terry Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Are latches allowed on corridor/stairwell doors in sheltered housing? They have self closing devices but I thought they should just be pushed open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Unlatched doors are easier to use and provide a more efficient escape route. Therefore, so long as the self-closing devices are strong enough to hold the unlatched doors closed in draughty conditions I would advocate unlatched doors.
