Fire door ironmongery in Cambuslang, done to the evidence
When you book fire door ironmongery in Cambuslang, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Cambuslang has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, care homes and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We supply ironmongery for Cambuslang fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Cambuslang 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
Which fire door rules apply in Cambuslang?
In Cambuslang, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Questions
Is Cambuslang within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cambuslang in Lanarkshire and neighbouring towns such as Rutherglen. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cambuslang 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.
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.
