Getting fire door ironmongery right in Stroud
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stroud, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Stroud has a broad mix of buildings, including low-rise blocks of flats, HMOs and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Signage for fire doors in Stroud 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 Stroud 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-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Stroud
The rules that apply to fire doors in Stroud 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 Stroud 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Stroud?
Yes, we take on fire door ironmongery in Stroud and the surrounding area, including Gloucester and Cirencester. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stroud 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.
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.
