Fire door ironmongery in Prescot, done to the evidence
We provide fire door ironmongery in Prescot (L34 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Prescot range from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We supply ironmongery for Prescot fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Prescot 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.
What you get:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
Which fire door rules apply in Prescot?
In Prescot, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Prescot building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Which buildings in Prescot need fire door ironmongery?
Typical settings for fire door ironmongery include blocks of flats, offices and HMOs. In Prescot, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Is Prescot within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Prescot in Merseyside and neighbouring towns such as Huyton. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Prescot?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
