Signage for fire doors in Loughborough 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 Loughborough 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:
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Which fire door rules apply in Loughborough?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Loughborough 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 Loughborough 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.
Which buildings in Loughborough need fire door ironmongery?
From blocks of flats to offices, the requirement for fire door ironmongery in Loughborough comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Loughborough
Do you work in Loughborough?
Yes, we take on fire door ironmongery in Loughborough and the surrounding area, including Coalville and Leicester. 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.
Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
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.
