Fire door ironmongery in Barnsley, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Barnsley, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Barnsley protect escape routes in high-street shops, houses with integral garages and industrial estates alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Barnsley fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Barnsley 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:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Rules and responsibilities in Barnsley
Fire doors in Barnsley fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions
Is Barnsley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Barnsley in South Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Darton. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
