All items of ironmongery are critical to the performance of the fire doorset. A small change can have an enormous impact in an emergency.

If throughout the life of the doorset a component replacement is required, it is critical that the components exactly match those listed on the relevant fire certificates and data sheet for the specific doorset.

Any maintenance works should be carried out by a competent person, documented, and kept as part of the building record and fire door register.
