Fire door ironmongery: our service in Mangotsfield
Our fire door ironmongery service in Mangotsfield is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Mangotsfield range from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Mangotsfield we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Mangotsfield 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:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Rules and responsibilities in Mangotsfield
In Mangotsfield, 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 Mangotsfield 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.
Which buildings in Mangotsfield need fire door ironmongery?
From hotels to schools, the requirement for fire door ironmongery in Mangotsfield comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Mangotsfield
Is Mangotsfield within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Mangotsfield in Gloucestershire and neighbouring towns such as Kingswood. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Mangotsfield 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.
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.
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.
