Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Newburn

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Newburn, our fire door ironmongery repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

Fire door ironmongery is the hardware on a fire door, hinges, latches, locks, handles, closers, letter plates and spy holes, which must be suitable for use on fire doors so it does not create a weak point when the door is exposed to fire. We use the same method for buildings in Newburn.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Newburn?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Newburn can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Can I fit any lock to a fire door?

No. The lock must be suitable for fire doors and fitted within the size limits of the door's evidence, often with intumescent protection around the mortice.

Which fire safety law applies in Newburn?

Newburn 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.
