Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Rayleigh

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

Rayleigh FAQs

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Rayleigh?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Rayleigh 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.

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.
