Fire door ironmongery: our service in Morley
Our fire door ironmongery service in Morley is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Morley, family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We supply ironmongery for Morley fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Morley buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
What the rules say for Morley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Morley 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 Morley 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.
