Signage for fire doors in Yateley buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Yateley we replace them with hardware covered by each door's 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
