Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Portslade: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Portslade?

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

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Portslade?

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