Fire door ironmongery: our service in Colwyn Bay
When you book fire door ironmongery in Colwyn Bay, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Colwyn Bay, fire door work covers everything from schools to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Colwyn Bay we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Colwyn Bay buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
Each installation includes:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
What the rules say for Colwyn Bay
Colwyn Bay is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
