Fire door ironmongery for Irvine buildings
Our fire door ironmongery service in Irvine is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Irvine, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Irvine fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Irvine buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
As standard, the work covers:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
What the rules say for Irvine
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Irvine. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Irvine are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
Who needs fire door ironmongery in Irvine?

Questions from Irvine
Do you work in Irvine?
Yes, we take on fire door ironmongery in Irvine and the surrounding area, including Kilmarnock and Ayr. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
