The evidence pack for each communal door in Perth & Kinross is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets. Communal corridors and stairs in Perth & Kinross buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Perth & Kinross can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Pairs, vision panels and robust finishes
We fit single, double and leaf-and-a-half communal doors, with vision panels in tested glazing systems and finishes chosen to stand up to use, such as laminates and kick plates covered by the certification. For pairs, the meeting edges, rebates and any door coordinator must match the evidence; see our double fire doors page.

Common questions
Do you provide communal fire doors across Perth & Kinross?
Yes. We cover all of Perth & Kinross. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Will the stairs be out of use while you work?
No. We phase the work so that each route stays protected and usable, replacing doors one section at a time and never leaving an opening without a door at the end of the day.
Can communal fire doors be held open?
Only with a proper hold-open device that releases the door when the fire alarm operates. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable. Electromagnetic holders or free-swing closers are the usual solutions.
