Fire door ironmongery in Ammanford, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Ammanford, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Ammanford, fire door work covers everything from schools to small offices. 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 Ammanford we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Ammanford buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
What the rules say for Ammanford
Because Ammanford is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Ammanford comes from your fire risk assessment.

Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.

Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
