TEXT:

I am writing to you with a question about your Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard #206. My question is "are door locks required on fire equipment"?

Our specifications required them on our new equipment, but the manufacturer stated that they are not required.

Could you give me the official answer on this question?
