Fire door ironmongery for Deal buildings
If you need fire door ironmongery in Deal, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Deal, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Deal fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Deal buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire door signage
Which fire door rules apply in Deal?
England's framework applies in Deal. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Deal, 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.

Questions
Do you work in Deal?
Yes, we take on fire door ironmongery in Deal and the surrounding area, including Dover and Ramsgate. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
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.
