We supply ironmongery for Hebburn fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Hebburn buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire door signage
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13

Yes. We cover Hebburn including NE31, and nearby towns such as Jarrow and Wallsend. The survey and written quote are free.

Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do fire doors need signs?
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.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
