Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Nuneaton we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Nuneaton fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
Common hardware defects

As standard, the work covers:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
