Hello - am just looking for a quick bit of advice - I've recently moved into a 1st floor flat that was built around 2004. The building has 3 stories and I think under old regulations all the habitual room doors had to be self-closing. Therefore, all the doors have the chain-type, concealed self-closing mechanisms in the flat.
However, I think since 2007 it hasn't been necessary to have self-closing doors, and I would very much like to unscrew the chains from the door hinge/frame because the doors are quite annoying when they constantly close. I therefore have two questions if anyone knows - can I do this legally under the current regulations? And if I decide to make them self-closing again at some point in the future, how is this done given that once unscrewed, the chains will disappear into the door?
Any advice will be greatfully received.
