In and around Kingswinford, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Kingswinford 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 Kingswinford 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.
Each installation includes:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
Fire door law for Kingswinford properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Kingswinford 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 Kingswinford 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.
