Newquay has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small offices and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We supply ironmongery for Newquay fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Newquay buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
The regulations behind fire doors in Newquay
In Newquay, 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 Newquay 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.

Questions
Do you work in Newquay?
Yes, we take on fire door ironmongery in Newquay and the surrounding area, including Truro and St Austell. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Newquay building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
