Fire door ironmongery fitting in Bathgate

Fire door ironmongery: our service in Bathgate

We provide fire door ironmongery in Bathgate (EH48 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Bathgate has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Signage for fire doors in Bathgate buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Bathgate we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Intumescent pads and lock linings
• Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
• Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
• Locks and latches covered by the evidence

What the rules say for Bathgate

Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Bathgate. 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 Bathgate are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
