We provide fire door ironmongery across Nottinghamshire, covering 10 towns and 28 postcode districts, including Nottingham, Mansfield and Worksop.
Signage for fire doors in Nottinghamshire 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 Nottinghamshire we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Nottinghamshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Nottinghamshire
In Nottinghamshire, 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 Nottinghamshire 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.

Fire door ironmongery questions
Do you provide fire door ironmongery across Nottinghamshire?
Yes. We cover all of Nottinghamshire, including Nottingham and Mansfield. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
