Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Royton?

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

Yes. As well as Royton itself we cover nearby towns including Chadderton, Oldham and Middleton.

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.

Can hold-open devices be used on flat entrance doors?

Generally not on flat entrance doors in residential blocks. They are mainly used on corridor and cross-corridor doors in other buildings, subject to the fire risk assessment.
