Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Guildford: questions

Can you price remedial work in Guildford from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Guildford, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Which fire safety law applies in Guildford?

Guildford is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Are cat flaps allowed in fire doors?

Not unless the flap is part of the door's tested design. A cat flap cut into a fire door, including many flat entrance doors, will normally make it non-compliant.

How many hinges does a fire door need?

Most single-leaf fire doors use three hinges; taller or heavier leaves may need four. The door's test evidence specifies the number and type.
