What fire door ironmongery in Bangor should include
We provide fire door ironmongery in Bangor (BT20 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Bangor, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to high-street shops. 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 Bangor we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Bangor 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
