Getting fire door ironmongery right in Kingswood
From the BS15 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Kingswood for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Kingswood, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Kingswood we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Kingswood 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
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Which fire door rules apply in Kingswood?
In Kingswood, 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 Kingswood 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.
