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

Questions
Do you provide fire door ironmongery across Forth Valley?
Yes. We cover all of Forth Valley, including Stirling and Falkirk. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.

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.
