Signage for fire doors in Neath 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 Neath we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
Each installation includes:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Bolts and selectors where specified
