Fire door ironmongery: our service in Blyth
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Blyth and the wider Northumberland area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Blyth, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Blyth fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Blyth 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
What the rules say for Blyth
In Blyth, 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 Blyth 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
Is Blyth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Blyth in Northumberland and neighbouring towns such as Ashington. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
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.
