Fire door ironmongery in Coalville, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Coalville, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Coalville protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, schools and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Coalville we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Coalville 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
