Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Stourbridge we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Stourbridge 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage
