Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Kirkby

From the L32 district outwards, we cover Kirkby and neighbouring towns such as Maghull and Litherland 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 Kirkby.

Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Kirkby: questions

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.

Do letter plates on flat doors need to be fire-rated?

Yes, where the flat entrance door is a fire door. Fire-rated letter plates include intumescent liners that close the opening in a fire.

Do you cover the area around Kirkby?

Yes. As well as Kirkby itself we cover nearby towns including Maghull, Litherland and Prescot.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kirkby?

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