self-closing fire doors in self-catering house?
Some relatives & I went on holiday in a self-catering townhouse in
Yorkshire earlier this summer. I think the house was about 10 years
old.
All the internal doors except the ones for the bathrooms had
self-closing gadgets built in (installed in the frame between the
hinges, pulling a chain attached to the hinge side of the door). The
visitors' book had several previous comments requesting doorstops
because the self-closing doors were a nuisance, followed by a comment
from the owners to the effect that they weren't allowed to provide
doorstops because of fire regulations.
Comments?
