Each installation includes:

• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
• Locks and latches covered by the evidence
• Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
• Bolts and selectors where specified

Which fire door rules apply in Becontree?

England's framework applies in Becontree. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For blocks over 11 metres in Becontree, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
