Fire door ironmongery in Burntwood, done to the evidence
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Burntwood and the wider Staffordshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Burntwood, small offices, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We supply ironmongery for Burntwood fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Burntwood 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.
What you get:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Rules and responsibilities in Burntwood
England's framework applies in Burntwood. 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 Burntwood, 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.
