Fire Door Hinges
Fire Rated Door Hinges for Safer, Compliant Buildings
Fire door hinges are a key component of any compliant fire-rated door assembly. Designed to keep doors secure in the frame when closed, these hinges help with containment in the event of a fire. They aid in protecting escape routes and help to meet the requirements of fire safety regulations.
Whether you're specifying ironmongery for new builds, upgrading existing doors, or replacing worn hardware, these hinges deliver both safety and long-term performance.
Reliable Hinges Built for Demanding Environments
Fire door hinges are not a special or particular type of hinge. They are models tested to rigorous standards, including BS EN 1935 and BS EN 1634-1. All hinges for fire doors must be CE or UKCA marked and third-party tested to prove compliance.
They are rated for a minimum of 30 minutes of fire resistance, and could require separate intumescent protection depending on the test evidence. They are an essential part of the passive fire protection strategy for commercial, public sector, and industrial premises.
These hinges are designed to meet daily use requirements while maintaining integrity during a fire. Choose from:
- Grade 13 hinges - suitable for heavy doors and high-traffic use
- A range of finishes - from Grade 316 stainless steel to PVD brass for corrosion resistance and durability
- Ball bearing hinges - for smoother operation and noise reduction
Why Use Fire Rated Hinges?

Whether you're working with heavy or wide doors, or doors with high usage requirements, there’s a suitable fire hinge for your facility.
Fit for Heavy Duty Fire Doors
Fire rated door closers add considerable weight and torque to a door. Hinges must be robust enough to accommodate these forces across years of daily use. Many of our products are cycle-tested to 200,000 operations, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding premises.
High-performance hinges from brands like Royde & Tucker, Simonswerk, and Eurospec are widely used in healthcare, education, and public buildings. They’re chosen for their compliance credentials, durability, and installation efficiency.
Key Features to Look For:
- CE or UKCA marking with DoP documentation
- Fire rating to match that of the door assembly
- Tested to BS EN 1935 for durability and load-bearing performance
- Suitable for use with fire door closers
- Fire tested as part of a complete fire door assembly
All of these fire door hinges in our collection are designed for performance, tested for fire resistance, and suitable for high-frequency use.
Supporting Safer Fire Door Assemblies
Fire doors are only effective when correctly installed with compatible fire door hardware. Hinges must work in unison with closers, latches, and intumescent products to delay the spread of fire and smoke.
Choosing unsuitable hinges or failing to fit them correctly can compromise compartmentation and fail to meet legal standards.
