Fire door ironmongery: our service in Mansfield
Our fire door ironmongery service in Mansfield is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Mansfield has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built flats, GP surgeries and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We supply ironmongery for Mansfield fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Mansfield 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:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
The regulations behind fire doors in Mansfield
In Mansfield, 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 Mansfield 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Mansfield?

Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Mansfield 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.
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.
