Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Letchworth Garden City: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Letchworth Garden City?

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Letchworth Garden City?

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

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.
