In Locks Heath
What fire door work actually looks like in Locks Heath.
There's a real mix of property types in Locks Heath — flats above shops, HMOs, schools, the odd care home — and the fire door rules don't bend just because a building's awkward. We've worked through most of it.
Why Locks Heath
What's specific about fire door work in Locks Heath.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Locks Heath.
Mixed property stock
Locks Heath has the usual mix of older conversions, post-war blocks and newer infill — each demands a slightly different approach to surveying and install, which is why we never quote without seeing the doors.
Tighter assessor scrutiny
Fire risk assessors covering Locks Heath are flagging far more door issues than they were a few years ago. Most of our work here starts from a recent FRA action list.
Working around occupants
Most Locks Heath jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.

On every door
What we actually check on a Locks Heath install.

- Signage — fire door keep shut / keep locked, where required
- Closer model, force setting and whether it actually closes from any angle
- Architrave reinstatement without blocking the seal
- Door leaf certification label still present and readable
- Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)
- Glazing apertures — bead type, pin spacing, intumescent under bead
- Hinge gauge, count and certification — three minimum on a fire door
- Threshold detail and any cold smoke seal at the bottom

FAQ
Fire door questions from Locks Heath.
What happens if a door fails inspection later?
If it's our install in Locks Heath and it's an installation issue, we come back and sort it. That's part of the workmanship guarantee.
Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Locks Heath be brought back into compliance?
Honestly — a lot of doors fail because of gaps, seals or wrong ironmongery, not the door itself. We'll tell you straight on the survey whether your Locks Heath doors are remediable or if they're past it.
What's the difference between FD30 and FD60?
FD30 holds back fire for 30 minutes, FD60 for 60. Which you need depends on the building's compartmentation strategy in your fire risk assessment — not something to guess at.
Will I get paperwork for the fire risk assessor?
Yes. Every door fitted in Locks Heath comes with a photographic record and a written compliance note. Hand it straight over.
Do you do surveys on their own?
Yes. Standalone condition surveys on existing fire doors in Locks Heath, with a written report, photos and remedial recommendations. Useful before tendering bigger works.
