Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Hove: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Hove?

Hove 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.

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 Hove?

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