Fire door closing mechanism

[Gaz]

Hi there, recently moved into a 3 storey town house and have noticed that all the self closing parts on the fire doors have been removed, do they need replacing?

Or can i just ensure they are kept closed when possible?

Thanks in advance

The requirement for internal fire doors to self close in dwellings was removed a long time ago so the previous occupier will have legitimately removed them.

You should of course try and keep the doors closed where possible, especially at night.
