Questions from Torquay clients

How many hinges does a fire door need?

Most single-leaf fire doors use three hinges; taller or heavier leaves may need four. The door's test evidence specifies the number and type.

Do you cover the area around Torquay?

Yes. As well as Torquay itself we cover nearby towns including Paignton, Newton Abbot and Exmouth.

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 Torquay?

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