Default Fire doors+frames in rented flats

Tom wrote:
What doors need to be fire doors in flats that are to be let out, do
all the doors need changing for fire doors? It's a 3 story house
converted into 3 separate flats, (the conversion was done 20 years
ago), some of the existing doors are fire doors but some are not.
Also I have been told they need to have fire door frames, is this a
different type of wood or something or is it just for the fitting for
the door closer?

Thanks

Yes all doors need to be fire doors in flats disregarding whether its 2
levels or 3.

The regulations for three stories flats has changed considerably now, so if
its your dwelling on regards to letting out the flats read the regulations
as adequate fire protecion & escape routes are paramount in the building
regs.
