What fire door ironmongery in Heywood should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Heywood, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Heywood, light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of 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.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Heywood we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Heywood fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
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.
What you get:
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Which fire door rules apply in Heywood?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Heywood 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.
Where a Heywood 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.
Which buildings in Heywood need fire door ironmongery?

Questions from Heywood
Is Heywood within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Heywood in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Middleton. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
