Fire door ironmongery for Havant buildings
From the PO9 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Havant for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Havant, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Havant fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Havant 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
