Fire door ironmongery: our service in Redruth
If you need fire door ironmongery in Redruth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Redruth, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Redruth fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Redruth 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.
Each installation includes:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage
Rules and responsibilities in Redruth
In Redruth, 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 Redruth 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.
