All blocks of flats are required to have a fire door fitted to the flat entrance. This is required by law and has the following features:
A self-closer.
Fire resistant door viewer.
If glazing is fitted within the door, it will be fire resistant.
Fire resistant letter box assembly.
Intumescent seals to door frame (seals that swell if heated to prevent fire spread).
Smoke seals to door frame.
All hardware including hinges and handles are fire resistant.
Thumb turn lock.
You must never tamper with or alter any of the fittings. These doors are there to protect you within the block.
