Hardware for Care Homes

Safety-focused hardware for care settings

Hardware that supports safety and dignity

Ironmongery in a care home setting needs to balance several priorities at once: fire door compliance, resident safety and ease of use, and a calm, comfortable environment rather than an institutional feel. We supply hardware suited to these needs, alongside advice on getting the detail right.

What we offer care homes

• Fire door compliant hardware – certified hinges, closers and handles for corridor and bedroom fire doors, see our Fire Door Ironmongery Explained guide
• Easy-grip lever handles – lever handles that are easier to operate for residents with limited grip or dexterity than a round knob, see our Lever Handles guide
• Controlled door closing – door closers that support fire safety while remaining manageable for residents and staff, see our Hinges & Door Control Guide
• Secure, appropriate locking – locking hardware suited to staff, resident and visitor access requirements

Balancing compliance and comfort

Fire door hardware in a care home must be certified as part of a tested door set, but finish and style can still be chosen to keep communal areas feeling warm and residential rather than clinical. Our team can help balance both requirements when specifying hardware for a care setting.
