  • If / when you do update the door it’s worth digging in to the regs on entrance doors in flats - they have to meet a fairly high standard (understandably) for fire resistance and provide an effective smoke seal / barrier.

    So replacing it and the frame will cost more than you think.

  • Thanks will do! Lock guy said on the phone having something you need a key to open from the inside above ground floor doesn't meet regs (mine)

    Shame that writes off using a Victorian door

  • I suspect anything other than a completely modern door and frame won’t meet regs.

  • I think that means you have to have a thumb lock (keyless) on the inside. I might not be understanding the problem though.
