Fire door ironmongery for Rhondda buildings
If you need fire door ironmongery in Rhondda, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Rhondda, fire door work covers everything from low-rise blocks of flats to industrial estates. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Rhondda buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Rhondda we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
Fire door law for Rhondda properties
Because Rhondda is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Rhondda comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions from Rhondda
Is Rhondda within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Rhondda in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Tonypandy. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Rhondda?
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.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
