Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Buxton

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Buxton, our fire door ironmongery repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Buxton.

Questions from Buxton clients

Do letter plates on flat doors need to be fire-rated?

Yes, where the flat entrance door is a fire door. Fire-rated letter plates include intumescent liners that close the opening in a fire.

How many hinges does a fire door need?

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.

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Buxton?
