Fire door ironmongery: our service in Dunfermline
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Dunfermline, we offer fire door ironmongery with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Dunfermline range from schools to family homes after loft conversions and industrial estates. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Dunfermline we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Dunfermline buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
Fire door law for Dunfermline properties
Dunfermline is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Dunfermline.

Questions from Dunfermline
Is Dunfermline within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Dunfermline in Fife and neighbouring towns such as Livingston. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Dunfermline 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.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
