Fire door ironmongery: our service in Holloway
From the N7 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Holloway for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Holloway, fire door work covers everything from care homes to shared houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Holloway 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 Holloway we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
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:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
The regulations behind fire doors in Holloway
In Holloway, 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 Holloway 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.

The need for fire door ironmongery usually arises in HMOs or schools, and sometimes hotels. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Holloway to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Is Holloway within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Holloway in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Highbury. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Holloway?
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.
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.
