Ironmongery
Legislation requires that fire door assemblies must be fully representative of a full size tested construction including essential ironmongery.
The definition of essential ironmongery is ‘items vital to achieve the desired level of performance of a fire door assembly’. These items include hinges, locks, latches, bolts, pivots, and self closing devices.
To provide full certification from one source and remove the burden from our customers, we offer a full range of fully compliant essential ironmongery that can also be fitted with the necessary fire protection.
Alternatively, for the complete ironmongery package, the design and scheduling could be carried out by experienced and fully qualified GAI staff who work alongside our doorset designers. We are able to offer a comprehensive range of quality products from recognised suppliers as a complete solution for each project.

Concealed closer
A precision manufactured door closer which is integrated into the door leaf and frame. This compact unit allows the closer body and slide channel to be installed discretely out of sight which reduces the risk of abuse and is more aesthetically pleasing for the specifier.
This concealed door closer incorporates a highly efficient cam action technology which guarantees a reliable closing force for fire door applications but also ensures ease of opening which is particularly important when considering children, the disabled and elderly who will only encounter a minimum resistance when opening the door.
The product is ideal in meeting the demands and needs of the healthcare, education and commercial sectors. The result is a product that will meet the requirements for fire and smoke control doors and also provides easy operation for accessibility.
The components used are highly engineered to ensure the product performs efficiently. High quality hydraulic fluid which ensures consistent performance in temperatures from -15° to + 40°. The mechanism is highly reliable and will provide product durability and long life performance.
Designed to provide a controlled closing of doors and offer excellent aesthetic advantages. The door closer is mostly hidden from sight to help reduce vandalism and abuse.
Cylinders
A range of restricted cylinders, tested and achieving the highest levels of performance for both security and durability.
Scalable from a single master key system up to a complex multi-layered control key solution, the cylinders are anti-pick and include drill protection to the body and plug as standard.
There are additional functional options available. An internal clutch mechanism can be included that disengages the key from the operation of the thumbturn. This allows the door to be unlocked even if the thumbturn is being held in the locked position on the inside. This makes it ideal for use in secure hospitals, for example, where there is a risk that an individual may block access to an area.
The classroom function is a variation of the clutch cylinder with the added feature that the turn can only ‘unlock’ the door. This is typically used in schools to stop students locking doors. The direction of locking (clockwise or anticlockwise) must be specified with Classroom Function.
Pivot
A highly adaptable floor spring suitable for all standard single and double-action doors with its closing force individually regulated by means of an adjustment screw. Once installed below floor level, the mechanism is almost completely concealed from view.
Whether the doors be standard, narrow or wide this floor spring is designed for all types of doors. A comprehensive program of accessories ensures that it can be used successfully with a wide variety of door constructions and floor coverings.
Thanks to a wide range of functions which can be individually selected to suit different requirements, the floor springs offer maximum reliability and quality.
