What fire door ironmongery in Halifax should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Halifax, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Halifax has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, schools and high-street shops, 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 Halifax we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Halifax 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:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
What the rules say for Halifax
England's framework applies in Halifax. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Halifax, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Yes. We cover Halifax including HX3, and nearby towns such as Brighouse and Huddersfield. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Halifax?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
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.
