This builds the register a portfolio keeps under the fire door regulations. Enter the buildings, how many are residential with storeys over 11 metres, the common-part fire doors and flat entrance doors per tall building, the fire doors per other building and the checks per year you set for those, and the page returns the check records per year across the portfolio, the doors on the register, the doors under Regulation 10, the quarterly common-part rounds and the annual flat-entrance rounds. The regulation's two frequencies are the Home Office's, cited below; the buildings and doors are yours.
The threshold is storeys over 11 metres
Regulation 10 applies to multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres in height. The register sorts the portfolio on that line first, because every other figure follows from it: the doors under the regulation get the two fixed clocks, and the doors in every other building get the frequency your risk assessment sets. The page counts both.
Two clocks: four rounds and one
Quarterly checks of all fire doors in the common parts and annual checks, on a best endeavour basis, of all flat entrance doors onto the common parts: that is four common-part rounds and one flat-entrance round per tall building per year. The page prints the rounds across the portfolio so the calendar is built from the rule rather than from memory.
Records per year is the size of the register
Two tall buildings with twenty common-part doors and forty-eight flat doors each, plus one other building with thirty doors checked twice, is a known number of check records a year, and the page prints it. That figure decides whether a spreadsheet can hold the register; Pro holds it per door with the sign-offs and reminds the person who owes the next round.
Where the constants in this tool come from
Home Office, fact sheet: fire doors (regulation 10), Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. The storey height the regulation applies from and the quarterly and annual check frequencies the register is built on.
Fire door regulations register: common questions
Is this a free fire door regulations register?
Yes: the doors under the regulation, the rounds and the records per year are computed here for free with no account, and you can print the register structure. DoorsetBook Pro holds the register per building and per door, with each round's records, sign-offs and reminders.
Which buildings does Regulation 10 apply to?
Multi-occupied residential buildings in England with storeys over 11 metres in height, as the Home Office fact sheet cited on this page states. The register counts those buildings' doors under the regulation and every other building's doors under your own frequency.
What does best endeavours mean for the flat entrance doors?
That the responsible person tries to check every flat entrance door once a year and keeps evidence of the attempts where access is not achieved, such as correspondence with the resident. Pro keeps that evidence against the door.
