Fire door ironmongery in South Croydon

Fire door ironmongery for South Croydon buildings

From the CR2 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across South Croydon for homes, blocks and workplaces.

In and around South Croydon, fire door work covers everything from restaurants to mixed-use office buildings. 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 South Croydon we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in South Croydon buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

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:

• Bolts and selectors where specified
• Intumescent pads and lock linings
• Fire door signage
• Locks and latches covered by the evidence

Fire door law for South Croydon properties

The rules that apply to fire doors in South Croydon are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Where a South Croydon block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
