Hello

we have just brought a second floor flat, a house slit in two.

the entrance is our front door opening to the street and stairs going up to a door that opens onto the landing.

do we need a fire door?

many thanks

Usually a flat entrance door that opens onto an outside area would not need to be fire resisting.  However, there are some occasions where one would be necessary, such an example could be that there is a balcony / escape route above or adjacent to your door.  If in doubt check with an expert.
