Fire door ironmongery: our service in Guiseley
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Guiseley, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Guiseley has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Guiseley we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Guiseley fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Which fire door rules apply in Guiseley?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Guiseley 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 Guiseley 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.

In Guiseley, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work.

Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Guiseley building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
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.
