Fire door ironmongery: our service in Clwyd
Whether your building is in Wrexham, Buckley or a smaller place in Clwyd, we can provide fire door ironmongery with the same evidence-led approach.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Clwyd we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Clwyd fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
Fire door work in Clwyd spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Fire door law for Clwyd properties
Fire door work in Clwyd follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Clwyd, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
