Fire Door Hinges | Online Door Store

Fire Rated Hinge Grades

Grade 7 hinges work well for standard fire doors in homes and light commercial spaces. These hinges measure 3” x 2” x 2mm and cost £7.00. The ball bearing design helps doors open smoothly while keeping fire protection intact.

Grade 13 hinges handle heavier doors and busy areas. Built at 4” x 3” x 3mm, these hinges come in sets of three and start at £12.00. Their stronger construction prevents doors from dropping over time, which helps maintain fire seals and safety.

Concealed Fire Rated Hinges

The AGB Eclipse adjustable concealed hinges hide inside your door frame while maintaining safety. Starting at £38.00, these hinges let you fine-tune your door’s position. They work especially well in modern offices and homes where looks matter as much as safety.

Available Finishes

Satin stainless steel hinges offer lasting durability at £12.00, while matt black hinges bring modern style for £19.00. Urban bronze and matt gun metal cost £22.00, ideal for contemporary spaces. Traditional polished brass starts at £16.00, perfect for period properties. All finishes maintain their appearance without compromising fire protection.

How Our Fire Rated Hinges Work

Ball bearing mechanisms inside each hinge reduce wear and keep doors moving smoothly. Pre-drilled holes speed up installation on new doors or when replacing old hinges. The Grade 13 range uses thicker materials and stronger fixings for doors that see constant use.

Safety Features

These hinges help stop fire spreading between rooms by keeping fire doors properly sealed when closed. Regular hinges can fail during fires, but fire rated versions stay working longer, giving people more time to escape safely.

The Grade 13 collection includes:

• Thicker metal construction for better heat resistance

• Stronger fixing points that stay secure during fires

• Precision ball bearings that keep working under stress

• Materials tested to handle high temperatures
