What fire door ironmongery in Cwmbran should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cwmbran, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Cwmbran protect escape routes in schools, houses with integral garages and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Cwmbran fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Cwmbran 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
Which fire door rules apply in Cwmbran?
Cwmbran 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.

Questions from Cwmbran
Is Cwmbran within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cwmbran in Gwent and neighbouring towns such as Pontypool. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cwmbran building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
