Guest Robert Fisher Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 We have moved into a three storey town house, is it a legal requirement for all internal doors to have door closures fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Not any more, Building Regulations used to require many internal doors to be so fitted, but removed the requirement as in reality these doors usually ended up with the closer removed or a wedge put in place. The doors to the stair will (or should be) fire doors, but only where a fire door separates an integral garage from the accommodation is a self closer required. (This all assumes the premises are occupied as a single family unit and is not being used as a House of Multiple Occupation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
