Fire regulations regarding exits

    im wondering if anyone can tell me the answer and/or point me to the specific law if any in this case

    i go to a particular school with 600 students, grand, but there are two buildings, one which houses 500 at any time, there are 3 exits, the main one, through a service area and a former entrance. The later two are locked from the inside, the service area one can be opened from the inside easily but the other needs a key.

    This door was open up until this year, when it was decided to close it, for stupid reasons that i cant go into, its a way out to bus stops etc but school will not open it, so, on behalf of the students council, i am researcing the fire and building laws. Basically, this door is a fire exit, an appointed one for many classes on one side of fire doors(these doors suldnt be opened in a fire), if this exit is locked and ccant be opened without a key, i think its in breach of regulations.

    Can anyone confirm this??

    Thank you very much

    Ring your local fire station and ask to speak to the chief fire officer. He will definitely advise you and will most probably arrange a unannounced visit!!

    A fire exit in a place of public assembly must have a push bar lock in place like THIS
    Where is this school?
    ie what county?
