Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Walthamstow

From the E17 district outwards, we cover Walthamstow and neighbouring towns such as Leytonstone and Tottenham 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 Walthamstow.
