Getting fire door ironmongery right in Arbroath
Our fire door ironmongery service in Arbroath is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Arbroath, small offices, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Arbroath we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Arbroath buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
As standard, the work covers:
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage
Fire door law for Arbroath properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Arbroath. 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 Arbroath are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
