Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Wishaw

From the ML2 district outwards, we cover Wishaw and neighbouring towns such as Motherwell and Hamilton 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 Wishaw.
