Double fire doors for Stirling buildings
From the FK9 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Stirling for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Stirling has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Stirling care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Stirling take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Stirling
In Stirling, 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.
Where double fire doors fit in Stirling
Typical settings for double fire doors include office cores, hospitals and clinics and schools. In Stirling, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Do you cover FK9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stirling including FK9, and nearby towns such as Alloa and Falkirk. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Can double fire doors be held open?
Yes, with hold-open devices that release on the fire alarm, or with free-swing closers. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
