Fire door ironmongery in Poole, done to the evidence
When you book fire door ironmongery in Poole, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Poole protect escape routes in offices, converted period houses and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Poole we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Poole fire doors that matches each door's test 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-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Rules and responsibilities in Poole
The rules that apply to fire doors in Poole are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Poole block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

How quickly can you survey in Poole?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.

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.
