Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in West Sussex: questions
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.
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 West Sussex?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. West Sussex is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
