Fire doors

[Paul]

Hello. I used to work on a building site many years ago and we shifted quite a few fire doors. My understanding was that they were solid. (no air inside so it is more difficult for them to burn). I live in a city owned (I won't use the term coucil owned) property and they fitted "fire doors", they also put wide letter boxes in them which is handy for my ebay purchases but they put them halfway up rather than at the bottom and they neglected to put brushes in them. This mean that not only could anyone peep in my front door but should the postman push something fragile through my letter box, it would fall with quite an impact and possibly break.  Strangely lock on my "new fire door" was my old lock and i took it off to change it and the part that had not been varnished matched that of my old door so I'm doubting whether they changed the doors at all but back to my origional point. When i took the lock off to change it i noticed that the "fire door" was hollow, also sound carries through them too easily. I have my doubts whether these are fire doors or whether they changed them at all, but the did stick a "fire door" sticker on the outside.

 

Are they doing something illegal?

 

Thanks

Most fire doors have a fire resistant foam in them and will hold back a
fire for a set time ie 15, 30 mins
