Fire door ironmongery for Risca buildings
When you book fire door ironmongery in Risca, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Risca has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Risca we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Risca fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Bolts and selectors where specified

Yes. We cover Risca including NP11, and nearby towns such as Newport (Gwent) and Cwmbran. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Risca 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.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
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.
