What fire door ironmongery in Bearsden should include
Our fire door ironmongery service covers Bearsden and the wider Dunbartonshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Bearsden, fire door work covers everything from care homes to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Bearsden we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Bearsden fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
What you get:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
Rules and responsibilities in Bearsden
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Bearsden.

Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Bearsden are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions from Bearsden
Is Bearsden within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bearsden in Dunbartonshire and neighbouring towns such as Clydebank. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bearsden 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 I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
