Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Dunstable: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Dunstable?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Most single-leaf fire doors use three hinges; taller or heavier leaves may need four. The door's test evidence specifies the number and type.
