Motherwell has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, care homes and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Offices, shops and hotels in Motherwell can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Motherwell, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
Which fire door rules apply in Motherwell?
In Motherwell, 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.
