Broadstairs FAQs

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.

Do you cover the area around Broadstairs?

Yes. As well as Broadstairs itself we cover nearby towns including Saint Peters, Ramsgate and Margate.

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 Broadstairs?

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