Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Devon: questions
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.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Devon?
Devon is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
Do you cover the area around Devon?
Yes. As well as Devon itself we cover nearby towns including Plymouth, Exeter and Paignton.
