In and around Newburn, fire door work covers everything from small offices to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Newburn buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Newburn we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
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.
What you get:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Which fire door rules apply in Newburn?
In Newburn, 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 Newburn 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.

What happens on a survey in Newburn?

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.
