Getting fire door ironmongery right in Deeside
When you book fire door ironmongery in Deeside, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Deeside, care homes, houses with integral garages and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We supply ironmongery for Deeside fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Deeside 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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
The regulations behind fire doors in Deeside

England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Deeside comes from your fire risk assessment.

We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
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.
