In and around Rhosllannerchrugog, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to light industrial buildings. 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 Rhosllannerchrugog we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Rhosllannerchrugog 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:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings

Questions from Rhosllannerchrugog
Do you cover LL14 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Rhosllannerchrugog including LL14, and nearby towns such as Wrexham and Buckley. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
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.
