Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Dundee: 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.

Do you cover the area around Dundee?

Yes. As well as Dundee itself we cover nearby towns including Arbroath, Perth and Glenrothes.

Does regulation 10 apply in Dundee?

No. Dundee is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.

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.
