Ironmongery Schedules in Dover

The correct ironmongery is extremely important for all kinds of residential, commercial and public buildings. It can change the look and feel of a property while ensuring all practical and legal demands are met. As a reputable locksmith in Dover, we provide ironmongery supplies such as handles, hinges and locks to meet the needs of both complex ironmongery schedules and one-off requests.

Whether you require simple fittings and fixtures for a new-build residential project or more complex ironmongery supplies for hospitals, schools or a house of multiple occupancy (HMO), we can help. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995, for example, recommends that doors be easily accessible, have lever handles and should not exert excessive resistance. This will require the skills and advice of ironmongery experts.

We can also enhance the look and feel of a property by changing the ironmongery finishes, such as switching from brass to chrome. If ironmongery is broken or damaged, we can source even the most obscure items thanks to our connections and specialist knowledge. Get in touch today for quality ironmongery supplies in Dover.

Fire and Insurance Regulations UK

 When it comes to UK fire and insurance regulations, the right window and door locks matter. In order to remain compliant, contact our reputable Dover locksmiths today for an assessment of your premises.  Knowing which locks to fit isn’t always easy, but whether you’re a homeowner, property manager or landlord, it’s important to get it right. Here’s what you need to know.

Fire Regulation:

Fire regulations improve property safety and prevent people from getting trapped in an emergency. As such, certain locks are necessary. For example, keyless exits are required when there’s a single point of entry. This can be achieved with deadlocking night latches or Euro deadlocks/sashlocks with Euro thumbturn cylinders. Both allow for key access from the outside but have a knob/lever handle inside for fire safety purposes.

Communal entrances require locks that can be overridden from the inside, allowing people to escape if a fire breaks out. Our Dover locksmith will help you meet the fire safety obligations for your building.

Insurance Regulation:

 Taking out contents insurance is a great idea, offering financial protection when you need it the most. But it can be compromised if you don’t have the right lock types installed. The small print of your policy, for instance, will likely require a final exit door to have either a three point multi-point locking strip or a five-lever British Standard mortice lock with kitemark BS3621 for wooden doors. Ground floor windows must be key locking.

Be aware of insurance policies introducing a star rated cylinder requirement. This means that doors with a Euro cylinder or similar will need to meet certain requirements based on safety testing and accreditation.

The right looks will help you comply with fire and insurance regulations, so contact our Dover locksmith today for more information or to book a site visit.
