Timco Grade 13 Fire Door Hinge

The Timco Grade 13 Fire Door Hinge is an essential, high-performance component designed specifically for the safety and functionality of heavy-duty fire doors in commercial and public buildings. Engineered to meet rigorous standards, these hinges provide reliable, smooth operation and are a critical part of a compliant fire door assembly.

A standout feature is the precision-lubricated ball bearing washers, which ensure a lifetime of effortless door movement with minimal friction. This smooth action is particularly crucial when used in conjunction with door closers, as it reduces closing resistance and ensures the door seals correctly every time. The robust construction is rated for 30-minute and 60-minute fire doors weighing up to 120kg, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, their durability is proven, having been tested to withstand an impressive 200,000 cycles, which is ideal for doors experiencing constant, heavy traffic.

For full compliance with UK fire regulations, these hinges must be fitted with compatible intumescent hinge pads (sold separately). When exposed to heat, these pads expand to seal the gap around the hinge, helping to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. The hinges themselves are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel with a smart electro brass finish, offering both corrosion resistance and an aesthetically pleasing appearance suitable for various decors. All necessary fixings are supplied for a straightforward installation.

Certified to BS EN 1935 and CE Approved, this Grade 13 hinge provides peace of mind that your installation meets recognized safety benchmarks. Its square corner design and solid build quality make it a dependable choice for architects, builders, and facility managers prioritising both safety and long-term performance.
