14 May 2019

The recent joint publication “A Guide for Selecting Flat Entrance Doorsets: a publication for housing associations, landlords, building owners and local authorities in England” is produced by the FIA( Fire Industry Association), DHF (Door & Hardware Federation), and SBD (Secured by Design) and represents a  landmark in collaboration.  The guidance gives confidence to specifiers throughout the UK in using the publication as an authoritative source of information, as they are guided through the complexities of an extremely important area of Building Regulations to help them make informed choices.  The guidance comes in the wake of the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy and in response to the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Governments’ (MHCLG) Implementation Plan – ‘Building a Safer Future’, released at the end of December 2018.  This seminar explores what has changed and the implications on specification for flat entrance doorsets.
