We provide fire door ironmongery repairs for buildings in Sittingbourne and the ME10 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 Sittingbourne.

Sittingbourne FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sittingbourne?

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

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 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.

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

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