Fire door ironmongery: our service in Coulsdon
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Coulsdon, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Coulsdon, fire door work covers everything from care homes to purpose-built blocks of flats. 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 Coulsdon we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Coulsdon fire doors that matches each door's test 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.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
Fire door law for Coulsdon properties
England's framework applies in Coulsdon. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. Enforcement of fire safety law in Coulsdon sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Coulsdon, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Coulsdon
Do you cover CR5 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Coulsdon including CR5, and nearby towns such as Purley and Banstead. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Coulsdon?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
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.
