Does my flammable liquid and hazardous materials storage locker need self-closing doors?
Since the adoption of the 1979 Uniform Fire Code, a flammable liquid storage cabinet has been required to have doors that are self-closing and tight-fitting. An older cabinet approved without self-closing doors and that has been in continuous use since 1978 in the same location can continue to be used provided it meets all required criteria. A complete outline of these requirements can be found in the 1997 Uniform Fire Code.
