Fire door ironmongery in Bordon: what's involved
Looking for fire door ironmongery in Bordon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Bordon and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Bordon, fire door work covers everything from schools to small offices. 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 Bordon we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Bordon buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
What you get:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Common questions
Is Bordon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bordon in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Farnham. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bordon 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.
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.
