Double fire doors in Bishopbriggs

Double fire doors: our service in Bishopbriggs

Our double fire doors service in Bishopbriggs is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

In and around Bishopbriggs, fire door work covers everything from small offices to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Bishopbriggs take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Bishopbriggs care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.

Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes

Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.

On a typical job that means:

• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence

Fire door law for Bishopbriggs properties

Bishopbriggs is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.

The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Bishopbriggs.
