Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Hitchin: questions

Do letter plates on flat doors need to be fire-rated?

Yes, where the flat entrance door is a fire door. Fire-rated letter plates include intumescent liners that close the opening in a fire.

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 Hitchin?

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

Can you price remedial work in Hitchin from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Hitchin, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
