Fire door ironmongery in Archway: what's involved
If you need fire door ironmongery in Archway, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Archway protect escape routes in restaurants, shared houses and clinics alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Archway we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Archway buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
Which fire door rules apply in Archway?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Archway 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Archway sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Archway 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 cover N19 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Archway including N19, and nearby towns such as Holloway and Muswell Hill. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Archway 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.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
