Fire door ironmongery in Pontypool

Fire door ironmongery: our service in Pontypool

If you need fire door ironmongery in Pontypool, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Buildings in and around Pontypool range from schools to small offices and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

We supply ironmongery for Pontypool fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Pontypool buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
• Bolts and selectors where specified
• Fire door signage
