What fire door ironmongery in Redditch should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Redditch, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Redditch protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, industrial estates and low-rise blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Signage for fire doors in Redditch 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 Redditch we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
What the rules say for Redditch
The rules that apply to fire doors in Redditch 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 Redditch 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.

Questions from Redditch

What happens on a survey in Redditch?
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.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
