Fire door ironmongery in Worcestershire, done to the evidence
Whether your building is in Worcester, Redditch or a smaller place in Worcestershire, we can provide fire door ironmongery with the same evidence-led approach.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Worcestershire we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Worcestershire fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
Fire door work in Worcestershire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Fire door law for Worcestershire properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Worcestershire 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 Worcestershire 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.
