Dunfermline has a broad mix of buildings, including low-rise blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and HMOs, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

FD60 openings in Dunfermline buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Dunfermline we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

When does a building need FD60 rather than FD30?

FD60 doors appear where the fire strategy asks a wall to resist fire for an hour: stair cores and lobbies in taller buildings, plant and boiler rooms, some service risers, refuse stores and compartment walls between different uses. The rating follows the wall. Fitting an FD30 door in a 60-minute wall leaves a weak point, and fitting FD60 everywhere wastes money and makes doors harder to open.

We work from your fire strategy, the building's drawings or the fire risk assessment. Where these disagree with what is on site, we flag it before ordering.

On a typical job that means:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer

The regulations behind fire doors in Dunfermline

In Dunfermline, 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.

Which buildings in Dunfermline need FD60 fire doors?
