Fire door ironmongery: our service in East Kilbride
Our fire door ironmongery service covers East Kilbride and the wider Lanarkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around East Kilbride, family homes after loft conversions, low-rise blocks of flats and care homes 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 East Kilbride we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in East Kilbride 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.
What you get:
- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
The regulations behind fire doors in East Kilbride
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in East Kilbride. 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 East Kilbride are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

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