Double fire doors in Glasgow: what's involved
We provide double fire doors across Glasgow, covering 28 postcode districts from G1 to G69.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Glasgow take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Glasgow is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Glasgow can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Why pairs need extra care
The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.
Which fire door rules apply in Glasgow?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Glasgow. 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 Glasgow are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Double fire doors questions
Do you provide double fire doors across Glasgow?
Yes. We cover all of Glasgow. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Do both leaves need closers?
Usually, yes. Each leaf of a fire door pair needs to close itself. The closers are sized to each leaf's width and weight.
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.
