Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Southend-on-Sea?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Southend-on-Sea?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
