B&B's, Flats and HMO's.
New fire regulations state that, all holiday homes should have thumb turn cylinder locks fitted to all external doors.​ Exit doors should always be easy to unlock and must not need a key to unlock them from the inside. A simple latch or thumb turn is usually good enough.
This is a legal requirement of all landlords, certainly for those with holiday lets.
