Fire door ironmongery for Pontypridd buildings

In and around Pontypridd, fire door work covers everything from schools to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Pontypridd fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Pontypridd 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
