Do i need a Perko on a fire door?

Featured Replies

I am having a carpenter fit a new door to my attic conversion and he mentioned it had to be a fire door but that it also needs have a perko.

I have ordered the door but am unsure of whether or not i legally need a perko?

can someone advise?

Thanks

If the property is a single dwelling in a two-storey house that has been converted into a three-storey house with a loft conversion, there is no requirement for a door closer, although the door may need to be fire-rated to protect the escape route.

In a dwelling, door closers are generally only required on the door between the house and an integral garage.

If the property is an HMO, a flat, or a commercial premises, self-closing fire doors will normally be required, and the closer should be a suitable fire-rated/certified device.
