Number of locks on entrance door of a flat?

Is there anything in English Law, Building Regulations, best practice, etc. , which applies or recommends a limit on the number of independent locks, o r of independent locks which can only be opened with keys, or independent b olts or chains, or combinations thereof, or suchlike, on the entrance door of a flat? It seems to me that too much security against unauthorised access may impos e an undue risk of being unable to escape rapidly in the case of, for examp le, fire. URLs for authoritative relevant Web pages would be useful.

Not known there; but I met a brace of plodesses in the street who have caused me to receive a 15 page printout of a page remarkably similar, but not identical, to , DOC file, about 15pp., 366kB. That links towards , a relevant UK Police site.

Thanks. HTH(s).
