Door closers

Featured Replies

Hi, Are door closers required in rooms in a mental health hospital or is this something a fire risk assessment should specify?

According to Health Technical Memorandum 05-02: Firecode Guidance in support of functional provisions (Fire safety in the design of healthcare premises):

Door closers
Generally all fire doors should be fitted with an automatic self-closing device complying with BS EN 1154 or BS EN 1634-1, with the following exceptions:
• fire doors to patients’ bedrooms in facilities providing in-patient mental health services;
• fire doors to bedrooms in in-patient accommodation for people with learning disabilities; and
• fire doors which are kept locked shut
