Fire door ironmongery in Golborne, done to the evidence
From the WA12 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Golborne for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Golborne range from schools to small offices and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We supply ironmongery for Golborne fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Golborne buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
