Fire door ironmongery in Islington

Fire door ironmongery for Islington buildings

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Islington, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Islington, clinics, schools and converted flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Signage for fire doors in Islington 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 Islington we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Fire door signage
• Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
• Intumescent pads and lock linings

The regulations behind fire doors in Islington

In Islington, 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 Islington 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.
