Guest Damien Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 If a door set has a fire door and slave 1/4 door in an office environment, should the 1/4 door be locked or open? The fire door is wide enough to comply as a means of escape and the 1/4 is thought to be to allow furniture moves, etc. Both main and slave doors have a self-closer.

AnthonyB Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 If it's got it's own closer rather than just being bolted then that usually is a good indicator that the whole width of both doors was required for escape at the time of installation based on the occupancy numbers, discounting of exits etc. as oppose to just for floor moves. If your Means of Escape calculations, done correctly, indicate you only need the main leaf and you want to keep the quarter bolted then you should be OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
