Fire door ironmongery in Yate

Fire door ironmongery: our service in Yate

Our fire door ironmongery service covers Yate and the wider Gloucestershire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Yate has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings, 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 Yate we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Yate buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

Why hardware choice matters

Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.

What you get:

• Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
• Bolts and selectors where specified
• Intumescent pads and lock linings
• Fire door signage

Rules and responsibilities in Yate

The rules that apply to fire doors in Yate 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 Yate 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.
