Fire door ironmongery fitting in Hastings

Fire door ironmongery for Hastings buildings

From the TN34 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Hastings for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Hastings has a broad mix of buildings, including industrial estates, family homes after loft conversions and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Hastings we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Hastings 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Intumescent pads and lock linings
• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
• Bolts and selectors where specified
• Locks and latches covered by the evidence

The regulations behind fire doors in Hastings

Fire doors in Hastings fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Hastings above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
