Peter Banyong Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi I have been notified by our building management; the front door to our rented property (flat in a building) is not a fire safety door because it is a UPVC none rated fire door! My flat’s front door opens to the street, having said, there is also a flat next door but has it’s own front door separately. We both share a common 3 steps metal stairs that leads to the street. I’m not sure if the management is right, do I really need to change my front door and what is best, FD30 or FD60? Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I think your building manager does not understand the situation, providing it is as you described and IMO fire doors are not required. The only possible hazard would be if a fire was in yours or your neighbours flat and the front door was left open with fire emerging it could prevent the other persons escaping but IMO that would be a low risk. If you decide to fit a fire door it should be a FD30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
