What fire door ironmongery in South Yorkshire should include
Across South Yorkshire, from Sheffield to Rotherham, we survey, supply and fit fire door ironmongery for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We supply ironmongery for South Yorkshire fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in South Yorkshire we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in South Yorkshire 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.
The regulations behind fire doors in South Yorkshire
England's framework applies in South Yorkshire. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in South Yorkshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
