Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Craigavon we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Craigavon fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
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-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
