Fire door ironmongery in Great Malvern, done to the evidence
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Great Malvern and the wider Worcestershire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Great Malvern has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Signage for fire doors in Great Malvern buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Great Malvern we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
Each installation includes:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Great Malvern
England's framework applies in Great Malvern. 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 Great Malvern, 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.

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.

Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
