- Private blocks: common parts largely outside the Act; title deeds and Scottish Government guidance apply

Fire Door Replacement in Fife: questions
Can residents stay in while flat doors are replaced?
Yes. Flat entrance doors are usually replaced in a single visit and the flat is never left without a lockable door.
When should a fire door be replaced rather than repaired?
When the leaf or frame is too damaged to repair within what its test evidence allows, when there is no evidence it is a fire door, or when the repair would cost more than a new doorset.
Does regulation 10 apply in Fife?
No. Fife is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
