FD60 fire doors in Arbroath, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Arbroath, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Arbroath protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, small offices and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
FD60 openings in Arbroath buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Arbroath we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.
What do you hand over at the end?
For every FD60 opening we record the product and certificate reference, the gap measurements, the hinge and closer specification, how the frame was fixed and what was used to seal the frame-to-structure gap, with photographs before the architraves go on. That record is what your fire risk assessor or building control officer will ask for.
On a typical job that means:
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Arbroath
In Arbroath, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover DD11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Arbroath including DD11, and nearby towns such as Dundee and Glenrothes. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Arbroath?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
Do FD60 doors need smoke seals?
If the fire strategy asks for smoke control, yes: the door will be specified as FD60S or E60Sa with smoke seals. Many plant room doors are FD60 without a smoke requirement.
