What fire door ironmongery in Telford should include
From the TF4 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Telford for homes, blocks and workplaces.

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