What fire door ironmongery in Bradford should include
If you need fire door ironmongery in Bradford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Bradford, fire door work covers everything from shared houses to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We supply ironmongery for Bradford fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Bradford buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
What you get:
- Fire door signage
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
