FIRE DOOR SAFETY

Our intumescent fire door products have been extensively tested to meet British Standards. When selecting the right seal and door hardware, it is essential you follow the fire door manufacturer’s instructions. To ensure you comply with the latest UK Construction products directive, all fire doors should be fitted with hinges that are fire rated, which means they need to be CE marked.

Here at Welling, we stock a range of different intumescent kits and seals in various sizes and lengths to suit the project you are working on. Many of these products are Certifire approved along with tested fire ratings for FD30 or FD60 standards. You will find this information regarding products on the website, datasheets or in the brochure and you can speak with a member of the team for further details.

Jumbo toilet roll holders, wall mounted soap dispensers and paper towel dispensers available in stainless steel or black finishes are among the products. Our large stock volumes means we have several items readily available that can be sent out with next day delivery across the UK.

CYLINDERS AND LOCKING SYSTEMS

Finding the right locking cylinder system for each educational setting can be challenging. We are here to help and will discuss each project’s ironmongery requirements, from school classrooms to university campus buildings, providing you with the necessary tools depending on your desired security level.

The versatility of cylinder locks is a major reason for their wide adoption, allowing users to combine different locks throughout the same building while achieving complex lock setups.

Euro cylinder locks are the most common profile design. Any Euro cylinder fits through a suitable Euro profile lock case, giving many options of finish, suiting and key or turn access. Below, you can find each key type explained to help navigate the locking system you need.

KEYED TO DIFFER
Each lock has its own key, so you can’t use the same key to open a different lock.

KEYED ALIKE
This refers to several locks, each operated by the same key.

MASTER KEYED
This is the simplest form of master keying. Each individual lock is operated by its own unique key, and a control (or master) key operates all the locks in the suite. Ideal for large office or shop premises where multiple key holders are needed.

GRAND MASTER KEYED
A control key which operates a particular number of locks that are grouped into two or more suites. The individual keys will operate the individual locks, while the master keys will operate a selection of the individual locks with the grand master key operating all locks.
