Getting fire door ironmongery right in Surrey
Across Surrey, from Woking to Guildford, we survey, supply and fit fire door ironmongery for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We supply ironmongery for Surrey fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Surrey we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Surrey can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Fire door law for Surrey properties
In Surrey, 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 Surrey 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.

Fire door ironmongery questions
Do you provide fire door ironmongery across Surrey?
Yes. We cover all of Surrey, including Woking and Guildford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
