Thornaby-on-Tees FAQs

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Thornaby-on-Tees?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

My door slams. Is that a fault?

Yes. A slamming door wears hinges and frames and can injure users. The closing speed and latching action can usually be adjusted.

What closer does a fire door need?

A closer tested to BS EN 1154 with a power size suited to the door's width and weight, and evidence it can be used on the door type. Concealed closers need specific test evidence for the door.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Thornaby-on-Tees?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Thornaby-on-Tees is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
