Fire door ironmongery in York, done to the evidence
Looking for fire door ironmongery in York? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across York and the wider North Yorkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in York protect escape routes in purpose-built flats, care homes and industrial units alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for York fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in York buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Fire door law for York properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in York are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a York block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions
Is York within your coverage area?
It is. We cover York in North Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Selby. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my York 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.
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.
