Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in St Helens

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in St Helens, our fire door ironmongery repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 St Helens.
