Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Southport

Southport 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 Southport.

Common questions in Southport

Do you work in occupied buildings in Southport?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Southport?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Southport 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.
