Fire door ironmongery in Burngreave, done to the evidence
When you book fire door ironmongery in Burngreave, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Burngreave protect escape routes in schools, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Burngreave we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Burngreave buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
On a typical job that means:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Fire door law for Burngreave properties
In Burngreave, 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 Burngreave 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.

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.

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.
