Fire door ironmongery in Norwich, done to the evidence
We provide fire door ironmongery in Norwich (NR1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Norwich, fire door work covers everything from care homes to schools. 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 Norwich we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Norwich fire doors that matches each door's test 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.
Each installation includes:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Which fire door rules apply in Norwich?
In Norwich, 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 Norwich 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.
Where fire door ironmongery fit in Norwich
Typical settings for fire door ironmongery include HMOs, blocks of flats and hotels. In Norwich, 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.

Questions from Norwich
Is Norwich within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Norwich in Norfolk and neighbouring towns such as Great Yarmouth. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Norwich building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
