Fire door ironmongery: our service in Scarborough
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Scarborough, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Scarborough range from care homes to HMOs and high-street shops. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Signage for fire doors in Scarborough 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 Scarborough 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.
What you get:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
Which fire door rules apply in Scarborough?
In Scarborough, 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 Scarborough 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.

Questions from Scarborough
Do you cover YO12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Scarborough including YO12, and nearby towns such as Bridlington and Beverley. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Scarborough 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.
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.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
