Guest TomRankin Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi there, I work at a gym and we need to put some security on our changing room doors. They are both fire doors and there are fire routes leading from inside the changing room out of them. I want to put a coded lock on the door which will have a handle on the inside to allow exit. Is this permitted with it being a fire route? Does the handle have to be a certain type, size etc? Thanks in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil ashdown Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Be mindful that installation of a codelock could possibly affect the fire resisting performance of the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
