Flat entrance doors, communal doors and protected escape routes.

Flat entrance fire door with closer and vision panels

Overview

Residential blocks carry the clearest fire door duties of any building type.

Flat entrance doors and communal doors sit directly on the escape route, and evidence of their condition is routinely requested by residents, insurers and enforcing authorities.

Key considerations

01

Flat entrance doors

Assessed as a complete assembly — leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closer and glazing — with access arranged around residents.

02

Communal and riser doors

Corridor, stair, lobby and service riser doors recorded door-by-door with location references.

03

Resident access

Evening and weekend appointments so occupied flats can be reached without repeat visits.

04

Reporting for managing agents

A schedule you can issue directly to contractors, leaseholders or the responsible person.
