Fire door ironmongery in Selby: what's involved
We provide fire door ironmongery in Selby (YO8 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Selby, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Selby 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 Selby 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:
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Rules and responsibilities in Selby
England's framework applies in Selby. 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 Selby, 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.

From blocks of flats to HMOs, the requirement for fire door ironmongery in Selby 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
Is Selby within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Selby in North Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Goole. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Selby 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.
