Fire door ironmongery in Sandhurst: what's involved
We provide fire door ironmongery in Sandhurst (GU47 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Sandhurst, small offices, schools and small blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Sandhurst we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Sandhurst fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
What you get:
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
What the rules say for Sandhurst
In Sandhurst, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Sandhurst building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Is Sandhurst within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Sandhurst in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Crowthorne. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Sandhurst?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
