What fire door ironmongery in Bromsgrove should include
We provide fire door ironmongery in Bromsgrove (B61 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Bromsgrove, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to schools. 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 Bromsgrove we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Bromsgrove 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:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Bromsgrove
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bromsgrove 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 Bromsgrove 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.

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.

Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
