Skelmersdale FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Skelmersdale?

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

Do you cover the area around Skelmersdale?

Yes. As well as Skelmersdale itself we cover nearby towns including Ormskirk, Wigan and Kirkby.

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.

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.
