Security grills to flat entrance doors

[Big A]

Naturally the FRS can enforce if firefighting facilities are being obstructed. Similarly in cases where extra grilles in lift lobbies adversely affect the means of escape for other residents and/or visitors.

I agree with BigA howver the original post was specifically about tenants putting secuirty grills on the doors to their flats. Obstructions to common means of escape and to fire fighting equipment are clear cases for enforcement however access to private property is a different matter.

An enforcement notice can't be served for this!!! we talk about the front doors being fire doors all the time to provide protection to the common parts. but a security gate has nothing to do with providing protection for the common parts. the RP has a duty to ensure persons can escape from the premise once they're in the common parts, they cannot influence how a private residence chooses to secure their flat and how that might impact on the ease at which they can access the M of E. the resident could put the gate on the inside , or, he could fit a time delay lock if he wanted. He may be foolish to do so, but thats his right in his own home.
