Fire door ironmongery in Peterborough, done to the evidence
Our fire door ironmongery service in Peterborough is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Peterborough, offices, GP surgeries and purpose-built 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.
We supply ironmongery for Peterborough fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Peterborough buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
What you get:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
Fire door law for Peterborough properties
England's framework applies in Peterborough. 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 Peterborough, 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.

Questions from Peterborough
Do you work in Peterborough?
Yes, we take on fire door ironmongery in Peterborough and the surrounding area, including Stamford and March. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
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.
