Fire door ironmongery in Aston: what's involved
Looking for fire door ironmongery in Aston? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Aston and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Aston protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Aston we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Aston 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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
Fire door law for Aston properties
In Aston, 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 Aston 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 Aston?

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.
