- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence

Fire door law for Dronfield properties
England's framework applies in Dronfield. 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 Dronfield, 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.

The need for fire door ironmongery usually arises in blocks of flats or schools, and sometimes hotels. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Dronfield to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
