Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Lancaster

From the LA1 district outwards, we cover Lancaster and neighbouring towns such as Morecambe and Fleetwood 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 Lancaster.

Questions from Lancaster clients

Which fire safety law applies in Lancaster?

Lancaster is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Lancaster?

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