Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Hamilton we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. We supply ironmongery for Hamilton fire doors that matches each door's test evidence.

- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Fire door signage
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
Rules and responsibilities in Hamilton
In Hamilton, 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.
