Fire door ironmongery in Bartley Green: what's involved
Our fire door ironmongery service in Bartley Green is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Bartley Green protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings 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 Bartley Green we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Bartley Green 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Which fire door rules apply in Bartley Green?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bartley Green are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Bartley Green 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.
