Fire door ironmongery in Wallasey

What fire door ironmongery in Wallasey should include

Our fire door ironmongery service covers Wallasey and the wider Merseyside area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Buildings in and around Wallasey range from houses with integral garages to schools and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Wallasey we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Wallasey buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

Why hardware choice matters

Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.

On a typical job that means:

• Bolts and selectors where specified
• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
• Locks and latches covered by the evidence
• Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
