We supply ironmongery for Wednesfield fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Wednesfield 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-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings

Questions from Wednesfield
Do you cover WV11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wednesfield including WV11, and nearby towns such as Willenhall and Wolverhampton. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Wednesfield?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
