Questions from Chorley clients

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Chorley?

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 Chorley?

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