Wherever your building is in Dumfries & Galloway, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
