What fire door ironmongery in Llanelli should include
Looking for fire door ironmongery in Llanelli? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Llanelli and the wider Dyfed area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Llanelli, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Llanelli buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Llanelli we replace them with hardware covered by each door's 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
Which fire door rules apply in Llanelli?
Llanelli is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
