Fire door ironmongery for Redhill buildings
If you need fire door ironmongery in Redhill, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Redhill, fire door work covers everything from high-street shops to family homes after loft conversions. 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 Redhill we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Redhill fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
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:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage
Fire door law for Redhill properties
In Redhill, 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 Redhill 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.
