Kilmarnock has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, small offices and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For commercial buildings in Kilmarnock, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Kilmarnock gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Working in live premises
We plan commercial installations around trading hours, out-of-hours slots and phased handovers, keeping escape routes protected throughout. You get a clear record per door that your fire risk assessor can use.
Each installation includes:
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Glazed and solid options to certification
The regulations behind fire doors in Kilmarnock
In Kilmarnock, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.

Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
