Fire door ironmongery in Crowthorne: what's involved
When you book fire door ironmongery in Crowthorne, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Crowthorne, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Crowthorne buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Crowthorne we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
Each installation includes:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
The regulations behind fire doors in Crowthorne
England's framework applies in Crowthorne. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Crowthorne, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
