Getting commercial fire doors right in East Kilbride
We provide commercial fire doors in East Kilbride (G74 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around East Kilbride range from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions and high-street shops. 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 East Kilbride gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in East Kilbride 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.
What you get:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
What the rules say for East Kilbride
In East Kilbride, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover G74 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover East Kilbride including G74, and nearby towns such as Cambuslang and Rutherglen. The survey and written quote are free.
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 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.
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.
