Fire door ironmongery: our service in Newark-on-Trent
Our fire door ironmongery service in Newark-on-Trent is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Newark-on-Trent protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Newark-on-Trent we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Newark-on-Trent buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

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.
What you get:

- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates

Where a Newark-on-Trent block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis.

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.

Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
