Tipton FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tipton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Tipton 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 Tipton?

Yes. As well as Tipton itself we cover nearby towns including Dudley, Wednesbury and West Bromwich.

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.
