Door Ironmongery ~ available in a wide variety of materials, styles
and finishers but will consist of essentially the same components:-
Hinges or Butts † these are used to fix the door to its frame or
lining and to enable it to pivot about its hanging edge.
Locks, Latches and Bolts ~ the means of keeping the door in its
closed position and providing the required degree of security. The
handles and cover plates used in conjunction with locks and
latches are collectively called door furniture.
Letter Plates † fitted in external doors to enable letters etc., to
be deposited through the door.
Other items include Finger and Kicking Plates which are used to
protect the door fabric where there is high usage,
Draught Excluders to seal the clearance gap around the edges of
the door and Security Chains to enable the door to be partially
opened and thus retain some security.
