Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Bishop Auckland: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bishop Auckland?

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

Can I fit any lock to a fire door?

No. The lock must be suitable for fire doors and fitted within the size limits of the door's evidence, often with intumescent protection around the mortice.

Are cat flaps allowed in fire doors?

Not unless the flap is part of the door's tested design. A cat flap cut into a fire door, including many flat entrance doors, will normally make it non-compliant.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Bishop Auckland?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Bishop Auckland can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
