Commercial fire doors in Falkirk, done to the evidence
Our commercial fire doors service covers Falkirk and the wider Forth Valley area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Falkirk protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Falkirk can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Falkirk gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
Which fire door rules apply in Falkirk?
In Falkirk, 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.

Questions
Is Falkirk within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Falkirk in Forth Valley and neighbouring towns such as Alloa. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
