External flat enrance door

[Guest Barbara]

Hi!

 

I have a similar question about the entrance door to our flat, which we would like to replace. We are on the second floor of a small block built in the 50ies. The flat entrance is on a balcony shared by other flats, it is open air, not on a closed corridor. We would like to put a composite contemporary wood door. Can anyone tell me what the official regulations are for external flat entry doors? Between every flat entrance there are approx 5m distance, as said, on a outdoor balcony.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Do you have an alternative means of escape, or travel in one direction, from your front door this will determine the type of front door you require also do you have a stay put fire procedure.
