Getting commercial fire doors right in Coatbridge
If you need commercial fire doors in Coatbridge, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Coatbridge range from light industrial buildings to schools and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Each commercial door we fit in Coatbridge gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Coatbridge can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
Which fire door rules apply in Coatbridge?
In Coatbridge, 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.
