Do flat front doors need checking every year?
Get a priceIn a residential building above 11 metres, yes. The 2022 Regulations ask the responsible person to use best endeavours to check them at least every 12 months.
What does best endeavours mean?
You cannot force your way in. You do have to try properly. Write to residents, offer dates, knock on the door, and keep a record.
If a resident still refuses, the record of what you tried is what shows you did your part.
What is the check?
It has to include the self-closing device. Does the door shut by itself and latch?
Under 11 metres?
The Regulations do not set the same yearly check. The Fire Safety Act 2021 does bring flat entrance doors into the Order for a building with more than one home, so they still count. Ask your fire risk assessor how often to look.
