Fire door ironmongery in Littlehampton, done to the evidence
From the BN17 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Littlehampton for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Littlehampton protect escape routes in industrial estates, HMOs and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Littlehampton fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Littlehampton 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:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
Which fire door rules apply in Littlehampton?
In Littlehampton, 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 Littlehampton 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.
Which buildings in Littlehampton need fire door ironmongery?
From offices to blocks of flats, the requirement for fire door ironmongery in Littlehampton comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
