Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Kent: questions
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kent?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Kent is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Kent?
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.
