In and around Hindley, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages 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 Hindley we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Hindley 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.

Each installation includes:

• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
• Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
• Fire door signage
• Locks and latches covered by the evidence
