Getting fire door ironmongery right in Nottingham
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Nottingham and the wider Nottinghamshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Nottingham, fire door work covers everything from care homes to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Nottingham fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Nottingham 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
What the rules say for Nottingham
In Nottingham, 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 Nottingham 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 cover NG1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Nottingham including NG1, and nearby towns such as West Bridgford and Arnold. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Nottingham?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
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.
