Fire door ironmongery for Droitwich buildings
When you book fire door ironmongery in Droitwich, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Droitwich has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We supply ironmongery for Droitwich fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Droitwich 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
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Questions from Droitwich
Is Droitwich within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Droitwich in Worcestershire and neighbouring towns such as Bromsgrove. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Droitwich?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
