Guest JohnLi Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I live in a Retirement Block of Flats in Sydenham London. Our House manager recently replace the normal Latches of 4 of the 5 Fire Doors in our main stairwell with Ball Catches. Poorly fitted. The only thing holding some of the doors closed is the Pressure of the Hydraulic closer. Neither Peverel or the London Fire Brigade see any fault with this. What can I do? With thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sutton Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 London Fire brigade are one of the the enforcing authorities for blocks of flats in London and if they accept the Ball Catches then there is not much you can do about it, other than go to the local housing authority who are to other enforcing authority.
