Door nib requirements

[stevewoody]

Looking at the building regs, 300mm door nibs are required for communal hallways, but I'd like to know if this also applies to a non communal hallway i.e doors within the dwelling?

If so, does "leading edge of the door, on the pull side" mean there is no requirement for nib on the opposite face of the door i.e from in a hallway where it is pushed into a room to open?

Lifetime Homes is not the Building Regs. See Part M of the Approved Documents for further guidance.

You are not referencing the Building Regulations.

If you do actually mean the Building regualtions, the requirement is optional and only for dwellings for wheelchair users

I'll need to check his wit and sarcasm before we can accept him as family.
