Fire door ironmongery for Lincolnshire buildings
Whether your building is in Lincoln, Grimsby or a smaller place in Lincolnshire, we can provide fire door ironmongery with the same evidence-led approach.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Lincolnshire we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Lincolnshire buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Fire door work in Lincolnshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Lincolnshire
England's framework applies in Lincolnshire. 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 Lincolnshire, 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.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door ironmongery across Lincolnshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lincolnshire, including Lincoln and Grimsby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
