Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Falmouth

From the TR11 district outwards, we cover Falmouth and neighbouring towns such as Truro and Redruth for fire door ironmongery repairs.

Fire door ironmongery is the hardware on a fire door, hinges, latches, locks, handles, closers, letter plates and spy holes, which must be suitable for use on fire doors so it does not create a weak point when the door is exposed to fire. We use the same method for buildings in Falmouth.

Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Falmouth: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Falmouth?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Falmouth is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Are cat flaps allowed in fire doors?

Not unless the flap is part of the door's tested design. A cat flap cut into a fire door, including many flat entrance doors, will normally make it non-compliant.

Can you price remedial work in Falmouth from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Falmouth, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Can I fit any lock to a fire door?

No. The lock must be suitable for fire doors and fitted within the size limits of the door's evidence, often with intumescent protection around the mortice.
