Fire door ironmongery in Banstead: what's involved
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Banstead and the wider Surrey area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Banstead, schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats 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 Banstead fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Banstead 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
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
Rules and responsibilities in Banstead

Where a Banstead block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions
Do you cover SM7 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Banstead including SM7, and nearby towns such as Sutton and Ewell. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Banstead building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
