Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Derby

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Derby, 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 Derby.

Questions from Derby clients

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.

Do you cover the area around Derby?

Yes. As well as Derby itself we cover nearby towns including Belper, Ilkeston and Heanor.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Derby?

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