Fire door ironmongery in Stamford Hill, done to the evidence
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Stamford Hill and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Stamford Hill, shared houses, student accommodation and converted flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Stamford Hill we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Stamford Hill 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
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
