Fire door ironmongery in Staffordshire, done to the evidence
We provide fire door ironmongery across Staffordshire, covering 11 towns and 37 postcode districts, including Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Burton upon Trent.
Signage for fire doors in Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Staffordshire 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.
Which fire door rules apply in Staffordshire?
In Staffordshire, 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 Staffordshire 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.
The steps on a Staffordshire installation

Questions
Do you provide fire door ironmongery across Staffordshire?
Yes. We cover all of Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
