Approved Document B Update Raises Bar on Fire Door Hardware for High-Rise Residential
Revisions to Approved Document B that came into force this month now require a second escape staircase in new residential buildings over 18 metres, significantly increasing the volume of fire-rated door hardware needed on large developments. Specifiers and contractors must ensure all fire door closers, panic hardware, and hold-open devices are correctly integrated with the building's fire alarm panel. The changes affect projects at planning stage now and any scheme submitting a building regulations application from September 2026. This is a timely reminder to verify that specified hardware carries current CE/UKCA marking and meets EN 1154 for closers and EN 1125 or EN 179 for emergency escape hardware.
Product Spotlight
Transom Closers — The Concealed Solution for Clean, Compliant Fire Doors
Transom closers are overhead concealed door closers installed within the door frame head (transom), making them virtually invisible from the corridor side — ideal for hotels, offices, schools, and healthcare environments where aesthetics matter without compromising fire door compliance. They deliver controlled closing force and reliable latching to satisfy EN 1154, making them suitable for fire doors up to and including EI60 depending on specification. Key advantages include resistance to vandalism, no exposed arms to snag clothing or equipment, and easy site adjustment of closing speed and latch action. All transom closers in our range are held in stock for same-day despatch on orders placed before 3pm.

Installer Tip
Always Check the Gap Tolerances Before Fitting a Transom Closer
The most common call-back on transom closer installs is a door that fails to latch — usually caused by a frame head that is too shallow for the unit, or a door that has dropped and shifted the pivot geometry. Before ordering, measure the transom rebate depth and width carefully against the manufacturer's cut-out template, and check the door for square using a straight-edge across the frame. On timber fire doors, also verify the intumescent strip and smoke seal are not obstructing the closer travel channel; a strip fitted in the wrong groove can prevent the arm from returning fully and leave the door ajar — an immediate fire door fail.
