Getting fire door ironmongery right in Cannock
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cannock, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Cannock, fire door work covers everything from high-street shops to low-rise blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Cannock we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Cannock 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Cannock
In Cannock, 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 Cannock 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.
