Doors

Apartment front doors

These are 60 minute fire doors (FD60). The design and colour of the doors facing into the common parts must not be changed by the resident as these are part of the architectural design of Park Hill. If there are any queries relating to the doors please contact the managing agent in the first instance.

Front door ironmongery

The front doors are fitted with 2no. NHBC and Checkmate approved sash and dead lock system (Images 1 & 2), these ensure that the doors:

• Can be opened from the inside without the need for the use of a key to ensure rapid escape in an emergency
• Cannot lock automatically when the door is closed - this prevents the resident from being accidentally locked outside of the apartment. The front door is also fitted with a Glutz internal door frame door closer which is a necessary part of the building fire strategy and should not be removed or disabled (Image 3)

For added security and NHBC and Checkmate approval doors are fitted with a peep hole.

Keys

The keys for the apartments are coded security keys. Copies can only be obtained with written consent from the freeholder confirming that you are a leaseholder. If you require additional keys, please contact the managing agent who will ensure you have all the required information.

Care and maintenance of doors

To keep the doors looking at their best:

• Carry out routine cleaning (e.g. removal of finger marks), using proprietary products and a soft cloth; do not use any abrasive household cleaning materials
• Take care not to scratch paintwork or numbering with keys or sharp objects
