Guest James Posted May 18, 2020 Report Posted May 18, 2020 Good evening I am not sure if this is the right place to ask but i have a few questions about an FRA. On the FRA the assessor has listed that there are incorrect locks (budget locks) fitted to 3 of the cupboards in the ground floor area. It doesnt actually suggest what they should be but she explained it to the building manager that the locks installed cannot have a hole through them. So would a digilock with intumescent kit be acceptable. She has listed these 3 cupboards of which 2 are electrical cupboards and 1 cleaners cupboard. But has not mentioned anything about the other 7 electrical cupboards in the building that also have budget locks. Is there a document i can read that has everything listed or is it just what the assessor deems acceptable? Thanks for any replies Quote
AnthonyB Posted May 19, 2020 Report Posted May 19, 2020 These are all suitable (https://www.locksonline.co.uk/Fire-Rated-Mortice-Locks-For-Fire-Doors.html) as are digilocks. You can have certain holes in fire doors, otherwise you couldn't have letterboxes in fire doors (which you can). Rather odd they didn't comment on the other 7 unless llocated away from escape routes Quote
