Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks: Annual flat entrance door checks are yearly checks of each flat's front door and its self-closer. England's regulation 10 makes them a best-endeavours duty above 11 metres; in Scotland the schedule is not set by that regulation, but checking flat doors every year is a sensible way to evidence maintenance.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde: questions
Can you check the doors from the corridor only?
Part of the check can be done from outside, but the self-closer and the inside face need access to the flat. Where we cannot get in we record what was checked and why the rest was not possible.
What if a leaseholder has fitted a non-fire-rated door?
The report flags it with photographs and the evidence available. The responsible person and fire risk assessor then decide on the action, which may include asking the leaseholder to replace it.
Does regulation 10 apply in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde?
No. Renfrewshire & Inverclyde 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.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde?
It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
