Fire door ironmongery in Westhoughton

What fire door ironmongery in Westhoughton should include

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Westhoughton, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Westhoughton, family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and small offices 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 Westhoughton we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Westhoughton 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.

What you get:

• Bolts and selectors where specified
• Intumescent pads and lock linings
• Fire door signage
• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
