Yes. Inspections and repairs in Ashford (Kent) can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Ashford (Kent) is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.
