Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Cumbria: questions
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cumbria?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Cumbria is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Cumbria?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Cumbria can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
