Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Bridgwater

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Bridgwater, 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 Bridgwater.

Questions from Bridgwater clients

Do you cover the area around Bridgwater?

Yes. As well as Bridgwater itself we cover nearby towns including Burnham-on-Sea, Taunton and Weston-super-Mare.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bridgwater?

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