Fire door ironmongery in Brighton, done to the evidence
We provide fire door ironmongery in Brighton (BN1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Brighton, fire door work covers everything from restaurants to mixed-use office buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Brighton 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 Brighton we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
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.
What you get:
- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
The regulations behind fire doors in Brighton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Brighton 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 Brighton 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.

Questions
Do you cover BN1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Brighton including BN1, and nearby towns such as Hove and Portslade. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Brighton 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.
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.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
