Getting fire door ironmongery right in Maghull
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Maghull, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Maghull has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We supply ironmongery for Maghull fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Maghull 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:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings

Common questions
Is Maghull within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Maghull in Merseyside and neighbouring towns such as Kirkby. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Maghull?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
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.
