Fire door ironmongery in Shepherds Bush

Fire door ironmongery in Shepherds Bush, done to the evidence

If you need fire door ironmongery in Shepherds Bush, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Fire doors in Shepherds Bush protect escape routes in hotels, restaurants and purpose-built blocks of flats 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 Shepherds Bush we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Shepherds Bush buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

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:

• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
• Bolts and selectors where specified
• Intumescent pads and lock linings
• Fire door signage

Rules and responsibilities in Shepherds Bush

England's framework applies in Shepherds Bush. 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 Shepherds Bush sits with the London Fire Brigade.

For blocks over 11 metres in Shepherds Bush, 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.
