Getting fire door ironmongery right in Rugeley
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Rugeley, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Rugeley, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to schools. 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 Rugeley we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Rugeley buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates

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 Rugeley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Rugeley in Staffordshire and neighbouring towns such as Burntwood. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Rugeley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Do fire doors need signs?
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.
