Guest Jane Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hello, Last year I purchased a second floor apartment which was purpose built in 2003. The main door from the communal area into the apartment is a fire door with multipoint locking system. The springs in the door mechanism are no longer working and so I was looking to replace either the gearbox within it, or the old unsprung door handles with new sprung ones. As this is a fire door, am I right in thinking that all the fittings also have to be fire rated as I am unable to find any that are. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Yes that's right you should first check the existing lock-set is suitable for your fire resisting door and, if so, then replace like for like. If in doubt contact the fire door manufacturer (if known) or a fire door specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
