Bradley Hughes Posted June 21, 2021 Report Posted June 21, 2021 Hello All. Can someone confirm that a new cert is not required when just changing a euro cylinder for like for like (name and brand) replacement of an FD30 flat door. Quote
Neil ashdown Posted June 26, 2021 Report Posted June 26, 2021 When replacing the lock cylinder, to a timber-based fire resisting door, ensure that the new cylinder is suitably fire rated and that the mortice work around the cylinder is tight with no gaps. If it isn't, repair with timber/rock wool/intumescent mastic as necessary. There is no legal requirement to obtain certification particular to this this work. OTHER BRANDS ARE AVAILABLE Quote
Guest Bradley Hughes Posted July 2, 2021 Report Posted July 2, 2021 Thanks Tom and Neil. New install was carried out under BMq TRada. But as now void locks change was required. I have changed this out before, and I believe a renew cert under FDIS is not needed as long as operative replaces like for like. Quote
Neil ashdown Posted July 6, 2021 Report Posted July 6, 2021 Be careful with like for like! Do not assume that what was originally installed is compliant. Quote
