Fire door ironmongery in Royton, done to the evidence
We provide fire door ironmongery in Royton (OL2 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Royton, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Royton 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 Royton we replace them with hardware covered by each door's 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Which fire door rules apply in Royton?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Royton 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 Royton 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.
