Getting fire door ironmongery right in Pontefract
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Pontefract, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Pontefract, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Pontefract we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Pontefract buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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:
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Fire door law for Pontefract properties
England's framework applies in Pontefract. 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 Pontefract, 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.
