Fire door ironmongery in Felling: what's involved
If you need fire door ironmongery in Felling, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Felling range from small offices to schools and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Felling we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Felling 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
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
The regulations behind fire doors in Felling
In Felling, 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 Felling 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.
