Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Sevenoaks

Sevenoaks landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door ironmongery repairs with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Sevenoaks.

Common questions in Sevenoaks

Can I fit any lock to a fire door?

No. The lock must be suitable for fire doors and fitted within the size limits of the door's evidence, often with intumescent protection around the mortice.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Sevenoaks?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sevenoaks?

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

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.
