What fire door ironmongery in Coatbridge should include
Looking for fire door ironmongery in Coatbridge? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Coatbridge and the wider Lanarkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Coatbridge has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages, 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 Coatbridge we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Coatbridge 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:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire door signage
- Bolts and selectors where specified

Residential common parts in Coatbridge are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions
Is Coatbridge within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Coatbridge in Lanarkshire and neighbouring towns such as Airdrie. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Coatbridge?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
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.
