Fire door ironmongery in Fleetwood, done to the evidence
From the FY7 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Fleetwood for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Fleetwood, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Fleetwood we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Fleetwood 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:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
The regulations behind fire doors in Fleetwood
The rules that apply to fire doors in Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood 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.

What happens on a survey in Fleetwood?

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.
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.
