What fire door ironmongery in Corby should include
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Corby and the wider Northamptonshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Corby protect escape routes in schools, HMOs and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Corby fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Corby 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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Which fire door rules apply in Corby?
England's framework applies in Corby. 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 Corby, 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.
