Fire door ironmongery in Camborne, done to the evidence
Our fire door ironmongery service in Camborne is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Camborne has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Signage for fire doors in Camborne 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 Camborne we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Which fire door rules apply in Camborne?
Fire doors in Camborne fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Camborne above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions from Camborne
Is Camborne within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Camborne in Cornwall and neighbouring towns such as Redruth. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
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.
