Fire door ironmongery: our service in Aldridge
From the WS9 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Aldridge for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Aldridge, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Aldridge 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 Aldridge we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
