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 Wales 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 West Glamorgan: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply in West Glamorgan?
No. West Glamorgan is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.
Do you work in occupied buildings in West Glamorgan?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in West Glamorgan can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
