Fire door ironmongery for Farnborough buildings
If you need fire door ironmongery in Farnborough, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Farnborough, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Farnborough 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 Farnborough 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.
What you get:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
The regulations behind fire doors in Farnborough
The rules that apply to fire doors in Farnborough 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 Farnborough 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.
