What fire door ironmongery in Hayes should include
When you book fire door ironmongery in Hayes, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Hayes protect escape routes in hotels, care homes and student accommodation alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Hayes fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Hayes buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
What you get:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
The regulations behind fire doors in Hayes
In Hayes, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
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 Hayes 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.

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.

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.
