  1. Thanks for your responses, and sorry for not responding sooner. The door has now been fitted and has passed its inspection. No self-closer was fitted in the end, just a 'throw over latch' to keep the door shut. The lack of a lock did not seem to alarm the inspector. Neil - I am not sure about the answer to your question. I'm assuming the grilles will only seal themselves when there is heat from a fire.
  2. 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
