Double fire doors in Cambuslang, done to the evidence
We provide double fire doors in Cambuslang (G73 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Cambuslang range from schools to houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Cambuslang care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Cambuslang 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals

Questions from Cambuslang
Is Cambuslang within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cambuslang in Lanarkshire and neighbouring towns such as Rutherglen. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cambuslang 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.
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.
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.
