I'll be fitting a fire door along with appropriate FD30 hardware (hinges, latch, and handle) to a boiler cupboard in a residential property. The door is being supplied with pre-fitted intumescent air transfer grilles and seals.
The boiler cupboard is located in the ground floor hallway, so opens out into an escape route. My question is this - is a door closer required? Or would it be suitable to fix a 'Fire Door Keep Closed' sign instead?
I'm aware that fire doors generally require some form of automatic closer, but I am unsure whether this applies to fire doors that open into a utility cupboard such as this. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
