Architectural Ironmongery

Crucial for residential  education, healthcare, leisure, public and commercial buildings, architectural ironmongery includes a wide range of quality metal hardware essential for the functionality and safety of door openings, as well as style.

Specialists at our sister company, PWIDF, design ironmongery solutions for the doors in your building to ensure complete peace-of-mind around buildings compliance, fire safety, functionality and durability.  PWIDF’s experts are Guild of Architectural Ironmongery (GAI) certified.

Hinges

Used in doors, gates and cabinets, hinges are a mechanical device that allow two objects to pivot or swing relative to each other. Hinges enable a smooth and controlled movement, which is essential for access or ventilation.

Designed to withstand repeated motion, our hinges are durable, providing long term functionality especially when made from steel or brass.

We provide hinges to fire door sets that achieve the intended fire rating and allow for doors to close reliably and completely. 

Door closers

A door closer is a device fitted to a door to ensure it closes automatically after being opened. Used to enhance safety, security and maintain temperature control, door closers come in various forms including hydraulic, pneumatic and spring based closers.

Door closing devices fitted on fire doors can:

  • Close the door reliably from any angle it was opened
  • Overcome resistance of a latch or seal if installed

In spaces where opening forces of doors could cause an obstacle for users, our specialists are able to assist in the best product specification for safety and building compliance.

Locking devices

Locking devices are crucial for the security of both windows and doors. PWIDF ensures that all locking devices are specified and positioned for the correct level of protection for the door set, which is particularly important in fire doors and commercial applications.

Locking devices have many key purposes including security, safety, privacy, access control and compliance. It is important to ensure the specification is right for you and this is where our GAI certified specialists can provide their expertise.

Levers and Pull handles

Commonly used on internal and external doors, a lever handle is a door handle that operates by a pushing or pulling lever, typically mounted horizontally or vertically. Architectural ironmongery lever handles are critical for life safety and provide an easy and quick escape.

Unlike lever handles, pull handles are primarily mounted onto larger and heavier door types typically in a commercial building. Pull handles for fire resistant doors are commonly made in materials such as stainless-steel brass or aluminium, to withstand high temperatures.

 

Accessories

Architectural ironmongery accessories not only provide practical functionality but also contribute to the security, safety and protection of doors, windows and most importantly, people. PWIDF can assist with meeting the compliance and user needs of your building, while considering the design style you want to achieve. Accessories such as kick plates, signage, door stoppers, exit devices and much more allow for a smooth and safe transition in a range of scenarios as well as security and ease.
