Questions from Potters Bar clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Potters Bar?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Potters Bar 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.

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.

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

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