Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Ilford

We provide fire door ironmongery repairs for buildings in Ilford and the IG1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Ilford.

Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Ilford: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Ilford?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Ilford can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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 Ilford?

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

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.
