Commercial fire doors for Fife buildings
Our commercial fire doors service runs throughout Fife. Main towns include Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, and we cover the smaller places in between.
For commercial buildings in Fife, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Offices, shops and hotels in Fife can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Fife has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
What the rules say for Fife
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Fife. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Fife are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions
Do you provide commercial fire doors across Fife?
Yes. We cover all of Fife, including Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can fire doors have access control?
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.
Can you install fire doors outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly plan work for evenings, weekends or quiet periods so that offices, shops and hotels can keep running.
