What fire door ironmongery in Portadown should include
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Portadown and the wider County Armagh area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Portadown, fire door work covers everything from care homes 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 Portadown we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Portadown buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Fire door law for Portadown properties
Portadown is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Portadown are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.
Buildings and duty holders in Portadown
Typical settings for fire door ironmongery include offices, HMOs and hotels. In Portadown, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Is Portadown within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Portadown in County Armagh and neighbouring towns such as Craigavon. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Portadown?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
