Double fire doors in Rutherglen, done to the evidence
Our double fire doors service covers Rutherglen and the wider Lanarkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Rutherglen, fire door work covers everything from small offices to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Rutherglen take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Rutherglen is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
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.
What you get:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Which fire door rules apply in Rutherglen?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Rutherglen. 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 Rutherglen are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
Buildings and duty holders in Rutherglen
Typical settings for double fire doors include hospitals and clinics, care homes and office cores. In Rutherglen, 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.

Questions from Rutherglen
Do you work in Rutherglen?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Rutherglen and the surrounding area, including Cambuslang and Glasgow. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Rutherglen 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.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
