Fire door ironmongery in Abingdon, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Abingdon, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Abingdon protect escape routes in small offices, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Signage for fire doors in Abingdon 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 Abingdon we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
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-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
What the rules say for Abingdon
The rules that apply to fire doors in Abingdon are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Abingdon block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

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.
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.
