Fire door ironmongery: our service in Lancashire
For fire door ironmongery anywhere in Lancashire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Preston, Burnley, Blackburn and the rest of the county.
We supply ironmongery for Lancashire fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Lancashire we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Lancashire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Lancashire
England's framework applies in Lancashire. 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 Lancashire, 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.
