What double fire doors in Ayr should include
Our double fire doors service in Ayr is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Ayr protect escape routes in small offices, schools and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Ayr take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Ayr is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Hold-opens and escape
Pairs on corridors are often held open in daily use, with hold-open devices releasing both leaves when the alarm sounds. Where a pair is on an escape route used by the public, the escape hardware and the direction of opening also need to suit the fire strategy.
As standard, the work covers:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
What the rules say for Ayr
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Ayr. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Ayr are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions
Is Ayr within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Ayr in Ayrshire and neighbouring towns such as Irvine. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Ayr building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
