Fire Door Ironmongery Installation

Fire door ironmongery needs particular consideration. The hardware fitted to a fire-resisting doorset can affect its ability to perform correctly during a fire. Components such as hinges, locks, latches, closers, cylinders and other hardware should be suitable for the application and installed in accordance with the relevant requirements and manufacturers’ instructions. Our team has extensive experience working with fire doors and fire-rated ironmongery, helping clients ensure that the hardware installed to their doors is appropriate for the doorset and its intended use. This can include the installation of:

Fire-rated hinges.
Fire-rated locks and latches.
Fire-rated cylinders.

Door closers.
Intumescent protection.
Panic and emergency exit hardware.

Fire door handles.
Other compatible fire door hardware.

ENQUIRE ABOUT FIRE DOOR IRONMONGERY INSTALLATION

Fire-Rated Cylinders

One area that is often overlooked is the door cylinder.

Not every cylinder is necessarily suitable for use on a fire-resisting doorset. Where a cylinder forms part of a fire door assembly, it is important that the cylinder and its installation are appropriate for the application.

We can supply and install fire-rated cylinders where required, helping to ensure that the cylinder is considered as part of the overall fire door assembly rather than simply treated as standard door hardware.

For more information about the ironmongery products we can supply, please see our Ironmongery Supply service page.

Fire Exit Ironmongery Installation

Fire exit doors need to allow people to escape quickly and safely when required. The hardware fitted to a fire exit therefore needs to be suitable for the door, the building and the way the exit is intended to operate. We can install and replace a range of fire exit hardware, including:

Panic exit devices.
Emergency exit devices.
Push pads.
Push bars.
Exit handles.
Door closers.
Locks and latches.
Door stops and restrictors.
External access devices where appropriate.
Associated signage and hardware.

We can also assist where existing fire exit hardware is damaged, worn, incorrectly fitted or no longer suitable for the way the door is being used. Our wider Fire Exit Door Services include condition surveys, servicing, repairs and replacements.

Mental Health Ironmongery Installation

Certain environments require a much more specialist approach to door hardware. We have hands-on experience with mental health doorsets and specialist mental health ironmongery, including applications where anti-ligature, anti-barricade, security and patient safety considerations are important. Depending on the application, specialist ironmongery can include:

Anti-ligature handles and hardware
Anti-barricade hardware
Door alarms
Specialist locks
Privacy vision panel hardware
Specialist hinges
Lock-back frame arrangements
Other specialist mental health door components

We understand that mental health environments can have very different requirements from conventional commercial buildings. Hardware therefore needs to be appropriate for the specific environment, doorset and level of risk. Our Mental Health Door Consultancy service provides further information about our experience with specialist mental health doors and doorsets.

From One Door to Larger Projects

Not every project requires hundreds of doors. Sometimes you may simply need new hardware installing to one door because a closer has failed, a lock needs replacing or the existing hardware is no longer suitable. We are happy to undertake smaller installation works as well as larger projects. Our ironmongery installation service can therefore be used for:

Single doors
Installation or replacement of individual items of ironmongery.

Multiple doors
Installation of hardware across a number of doors within a building.

Refurbishment projects
Replacing or upgrading existing door hardware as part of wider building works.

New-build projects
Installation of ironmongery to new doors and doorsets.

Fire door projects
Installation of appropriate hardware as part of fire door repairs, replacements or upgrades.

Larger commercial projects
Planned installation of ironmongery across multiple areas, buildings or sites.

Whatever the size of the project, we aim to provide a professional and practical service.

Ironmongery Installation as Part of a Wider Door Service

Ironmongery installation doesn’t always need to be a standalone service. As a specialist door consultancy, we can also identify and address ironmongery requirements as part of wider door works. For example, following a Fire Door Compliance Inspection, we may identify issues such as damaged hinges, unsuitable locks, missing intumescent protection, defective closers or other hardware requiring attention. Similarly, a Fire Exit Condition Survey may identify problems with panic hardware, exit devices, locks, handles or other components. Where appropriate, we can provide a solution that combines supply, installation, repair or replacement, helping to reduce the need for multiple contractors.

Correct Installation Matters

Installing door hardware is not simply a case of attaching a product to a door.

The position, fixing method, compatibility and adjustment of the hardware can all affect how a door operates.

Our installation work is carried out with consideration for:

The type and construction of the door.
The doorset and frame.
The intended use of the door.
Fire performance requirements.
Manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Correct fixing methods.
Hardware compatibility.
Door clearances and operation.
Accessibility requirements where applicable.
The environment in which the door is being used.

Where manufacturers provide specific installation requirements, these should be followed to help ensure the hardware performs as intended.
